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
Supplementary angles add up to 180, so
6x+60+90 = 180 and solve for x
6x= 30
x=5
Answer: Aproximately 2,525 balloons
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the volume of a balloon with the formula given in the problem, where
is the radius (
), then:

2. Convert the volume from m³ to lliters by multiplying it by 1,000:

3. You know that that 1 liter of helium can lift 1 gram and that Ryan weighs 5 stone and 5 pounds. So you must make the following conversions:
1 g=0.0022 lb
From 5 stones to pounds

4. Then Ryan's weigh is:
5lb+70lb=75lb
5. Then, if 1 liter of helium can lift 0.0022 lb, to lift 75 lb (which is the weight of Ryan) they need:

6. Then, to calculate the aproximated number of balloons they need to make him float (which can call
), you must divide the liters of helium needed to lift the weight of Ryan by the volume of a balloon, then the result is:

≈2,525 balloons.
Answer:
<2 = 75
<1 = 105
Step-by-step explanation:
<2 and 75 are alternate interior angles and since the lines are parallel, they are equal
<2 = 75
<2 + <1 = 180 since the angles form a line
75+ <1 = 180
Subtract 75 from each side
<1 = 180-75
<1 = 105
