Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
has to sweep 4/6
already swept 3/6
it needs to sweep 1/6 because
4 / 6-3 / 6 = 1/6
Since they are fractions with the same denominator, you place the same denominator and subtract the numerators.
Answer:
Sequence 1
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>You need to find the difference between term - the nth term.</u>
<u>The difference / nth term has to to -1/2 (-0.5)</u>
Sequence 1:
-6 * -0.5 = 3 * -0.5 = -3/2 (-1.5) * -0.5 = 3/4 (0.75) * -0.5 = -3/8 (-0.375)
Sequence 2:
4 * -2 = -8 *-2 = 16 * -2 = - 32 * -2 = 64
Sequence 3:
-1/3 ÷ 2 = -1/6 ÷ 2 = 12 ÷ 2 = 24 ÷ 2 = 48
Sequence 4:
400 ÷ -2 = -200 ÷ -2 = 100 ÷ -2 = -50 ÷ -2 = 25
The only sequence with a common ratio of -1/2 is Sequence 1.
