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: * = 36x^2
Note: Im guessing you're here for rsm struggles. That's how I found this question. I searched the web for the answer to this rsm problem, but I couldnt find it. I was happy to find this brainly link, but annoyed to find it was unanswered. I did the problem, and now i'll help future rsm strugglers out. Thanks for posting this question.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so we know that trinomials like this are squares of binomials. this in mind, we know that it can also be written as (x+y)^2. (also brainly's exponents feature used to be better, if the exponents are confusing you, comment.) Using the (x+y)^2 equation, you know that by simplifying it, you get x^2+2xy+y^2. Basically we're looking for x^2. Using the middle term, 2xy, or 12x in this equation, we can find x. since we know the square root of 1 is 1, we know 12=2x. This is kinda confusing, but basically since the answer is 6, we know that the x-term is 6x. We square 6x and get 36x^2. guaranteed to work on the rsm student portal, i'm in rsm and i just answered this question.
Hope this helps! Also, im not usually too active on brainly unless im looking for HW answers, so if you understand this explanation and you see a confused comment, help out a friend and answer it. Happy holidays!
