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!!

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2(6x² - 3) = 11x² - x
2*6x² - 2*3 = 11x² - x
12x² - 6 = 11x² -x
Subtract 11x² from both sides
12x² - 11x² - 6 = -x
x² - 6 = -x
x² + x - 6= 0
Sum =1
Product = -6
Factors = 3 , (-2) { 3*(-2) = -6 & 3 +(-2) = 1}
x² + 3x - 2x - 6 = 0
x(x + 3) - 2(x + 3)= 0
(x +3)(x - 2) = 0
