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
A=pq divided by 2.
I hoped this helped a little
3(3x+8)=4(2x+8)
9x+24=8x+32
x=8
2(8)=16
3(8)=24
that means that the younger brother is 16 years old
Answer:
(x, y) = (- 13/2 + 3/2 * y, y) ,y in mathbb R
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-6y=-26
-2x+3y-13
4x-6y=-26
x=-13/2+3/2y
4(-13/2+3/2y) - 6y=-26
y in mathbb R
x, y) = (- 13/2 + 3/2 * y, y) ,y in mathbb
