Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the number of members ordered chicken a, the number of members ordered beef b.

We have:

a + b = 12 (total number of members is 12)

10a + 14b = 136 (the chicken costs 10$, the beef costs 14$)

a + b = 12 => a = 12 - b

Substitute a into second equation, we have:

10(12 - b) + 14b = 136

=> 120 - 10b + 14b = 136

=> 4b = 16

=> b = 4

=> a = 12 - b = 12 - 4 = 8

=> Number of members ordered chicken: a = 8
