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:
5.5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
because its 4ft for every 1ft there's a ratio of 1:4 so 22 represents the 4 part of the ratio, hence 22 divided by 4 gives us 5.5 on the base
x = player1
y = player 2
z = player 3
y = 2x or 1/2 y =x
y = z-10 or z = y+10
x+y+z=70
substitute x= 1/2 y and z = y+10 into the above equation
1/2y + y + y+10 = 70
2.5 y + 10 = 70
subtract 10 from each side
2.5 y = 60
divide by 2.5 on each side
y = 60/2.5
y =24
x = 1/2 y
x = 1/2 *24 = 12
z = y+10 = 24+10 = 34
The three players scored 12, 24, 34
Y=mx+b m=-3/4 (1,3)
3=-3/4(1)+b
3=-3/4+b
b=3 3/4
y=-3/4+3 3 3/4
