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
To find a number 10 times smaller than 62 simply move the decimal point one place to the left.
The decimal point in 62 is at the end of the number. 62. becomes 6.2 if we move the decimal one place back.
Answer: $45,050
Step-by-step explanation:
First we multipy 0.06 (6%) by 42,500
$42,500 * 0.06 = $2550
This is the tax that must be applied to $42,500
Now all we need to do is add $2,550to $42,500 and we get:
$42,500 + $2,550 = $45,050
Answer:
i. No, Maurice statement is wrong.
ii. Stephan does not have sufficient pieces of wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.
Step-by-step explanation:
Stephan's piece of wood measures; 18 inches in length and 12 inches in width.
Since the piece of wood has a shape of a rectangle,
the area of the piece of wood = length × width
= 18 × 12
= 216 square inches
According to Maurice's statement, he could make a tray that has a base of 1012 inches by 1012 inches.
The base has the shape of a square, so that;
the area of the base = length × width = 
= 1012 ×1012
= 1024144 squared inches
This shows that Stephan does not have sufficient wood to make the tray because the square inches required is more than what he has.
My answer was wrong, I'm am very sorry
