1.)
c=number of people that ordered chicken dinner
s=number of people that ordered steak dinner

2.)
c+s=6
148c+170s=910

3.) 
now you would use elimination or substitution. In this specific problem, i think elimination would be best. Elimination is used to cancel out one variable. For this problem, i will eliminate s.
In order to do that, you need to multiply the top equation by -170 in order to cancel out the positive 170 in the bottom equation. 
-170(c+s=6)
-170c+-170s=-1020

Now, you have 
-170c+-170s=-1020
148c+170s=910

Now you cancel out the s variables and you are left with
-170c=-1020
148c=910

now you add the two equations together
-170c+148c=22c
-1020+910=110

Your new equation is 22c=110

now you divide both sides of the equation by 22 to get c alone

22c/22=110/22

c=5


now you plug in your answer for c in one of the original equations, to make it easier plug it into the top equation 
5+s=6
now subtract 5 from both sides
s=1

5 people bought chicken dinners, and one person ordered steak dinner

All reals is the answer.

Since y =-9 graph is way below the absolute value graph. Meaning that y value of modulus is greater than the constant graph.

The area of a square concrete slab is 20 square feet. Find the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increase b
guapka [62]

The side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet

The formula for calculating the area of a square is expressed as:

A =  L² where:

L is the side length of the square

Given the area of the square concrete slab = 20 square feet

20 = L²

L =√20

If the area is increased  by 25%, new area will be:

An = 20 + (0.25*20)

An = 20 + 5

An = 25 sq.ft

Get the new length

An = Ln²

25 =   Ln²

Ln = √25

Ln = 5feet

Hence the side length of the square concrete slab if the area is increased by 25% is 5feet
