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:
Step-by-step explanation:
p and h are number of plumbers and helpers, respectively.
Twenty workers earn a total of $2600
p+h = 20
h = 20-p
160p + 100h = 2600
160p + 100(20-p) = 2600
60p = 600
p = 10
h = 20-p = 10
Ten plumbers and ten helpers.

Answer:
I believe the answer is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just add. 6.5+12.3= 18.8 then subtract 20-18.8= 1.2. She needs 1.2 mores yards
