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!!
p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here
Answer:
c. quadrilateral
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the sides are different lengths, so the quadrilateral cannot be a parallelogram, rhombus, or square.
Its best descriptor is <em>parallelogram</em>.
_____
A <em>parallelogram</em> has opposite sides parallel and congruent. A <em>rhombus</em> also has adjacent sides congruent. A <em>square</em> is a special case of rhombus in which the corner angles are right angles.
To find out how much is needed for 1 you will need to divide each given value by 4:
12 marshmallows / 4 = 3
8 graham crackers / 4 = 2
4 smores / 4 = 1
you then need to multiply each value by 3 :
3 marshmallows x 3 = 9
2 graham crackers x 3 = 6
1 smore x 3 = 3
therefore the answer would be :
9 marshmallows
6 graham crackers
hope this helps you
