Using the arrangements formula, it is found that there are 24 ways for them to stand in line so that the youngest person is always first, and the oldest person is always last.
<h3>What is the arrangements formula?</h3>
The number of possible arrangements of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:
In this problem, we have that there are 6 people. The youngest person(Leslie) has to be first, while the oldest(Parvinis) has to be last, while the remaining 4 can be arranged, hence the number of ways for them to stand in line is given by:

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 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
12x = 36
simply 12 will go to the other side and switches to the opposite sign for example + will be -
× will br ÷
so 36 ÷ 12 =3
x = 3
This one is prime. The sum of two squares doesn't factor.
The more interesting case is q^2-1, which factors into (q-1)(q+1).
Because they show exactly how much of something is there/needed.
