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!!

QUESTION
Your equation is 2x+3y=2 and you need to find the slope.
EXPLANATION
There are many ways to find the slope with an equation like this. I'm going to change the equation into slope-intercept form.
Slope-intercept form is formatted like this:
y=mx+b
m represents the slope. The first thing you need to do is leave 3y alone to change the equation into slope-intercept form. That means you need to subtract 2x from both sides.

The next thing you need to do is leave y alone, just like the slope-intercept form example. To leave y alone, you need to divide 3y by 3.

Now the equation has been changed to slope-intercept form. In the equation, m has been replaced by
, which means that is your answer.
