Answer:
Number of people who order chicken dinner = 1
Number of people who order the steak dinner = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = number of people who order chicken dinner
y = number of people who order the steak dinner
x + y = 6 (1)
14x + 17y = 99 (2)
From (1)
x = 6 - y
Substitute into (2)
14x + 17y = 99 (2)
14(6 - y) + 17y = 99
84 - 14y + 17y = 99
- 14y + 17y = 99 - 84
3y = 15
y = 15/3
y = 5
Substitute y = 5 into (1)
x + y = 6 (1)
x + 5 = 6
x = 6 - 5
x = 1
Number of people who order chicken dinner = 1
Number of people who order the steak dinner = 5
I believe the answer is B
So to solve this question, your goal is to find out how the way it is solved is not correct.
Your answer would be: On the third line, the student adds the 8 to both sides instead of subtracting. The way the initial equation is given is
y-(-8)=-6(x-2). After distributing the six, the student should make the 8 positive because subtracting a negative makes a positive. After solving, the equation should look like: y(+8)=-6x+12, so you would subtract the 8 from both sides instead of adding it, and solve from there.
