I personally think its B but you gotta say if its either multiplication or addition or division
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:
x=−18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
x
3
+4=−2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
1
3
x+4=−2
Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.
1
3
x+4−4=−2−4
1
3
x=−6
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3.
3*(
1
3
x)=(3)*(−6)
x=−18
If there are 8 marbles in a group , and 5 out of every 8 is red, than in six groups there would be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 red marbles.
This lists the group of 6 sets.
30 red marbles in 6 sets.
2/3 is the correct answer because it’s bigger then a half
