Answer:

Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represent Shen, A, Aldo and H, Heather

Now, let's interpret the question

Shen served 2 times as many as Aldo, this gives:

S = 2A          ...eq 1

Aldo served 7 more orders than Heater

A = 7 + H     ... eq 2

Slot in the value of A in eq 1

Therefore,

S = 2 (7 + H)

Expand the bracket

S = 14 + 2H

Shen, Heather and Aldo served a total of 57 orders

S + A + H = 57

Slot in the values of S and A

(14 + 2H) + (7 + H) + H = 57

14 + 2H + 7 + H + H = 57

Collect like terms

14 + 7 + 2H + H + H = 57

21 + 4H = 57

4H = 57 - 21

4H = 36

H = 9

Substitute the value of eq 2

A = 7 + H

A = 7 + 9

A = 16

Substitute the value of A in eq 1

S = 2A

S = 2(16)

S = 32

Therefore, Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Two friends are collecting stuffed animals. Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted
STatiana [176]

v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used  to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica

Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa

Given that,

Together, they have 32 stuffed animals

Therefore,

v + m = 32  --------- eqn 1

Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted  animals as her friend Mariposa

Therefore,

Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)

v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 + 2m + m = 32

5 + 3m = 32

3m = 32 - 5

3m = 27

<h3>m = 9</h3>

Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2

v = 5 + 2(9)

v = 5 + 18

<h3>v = 23</h3>

Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
