Answer:
The Answer is 0.20833333333
Step-by-step explanation:
I don’t know what you’re tying to say
This is a quadratic formula with a general form of a²x + bx + c = 0. For quadratic equations, we can solve for its two roots using the quadratic formula shown in the attached picture.
a = -3
b = -4
c = -4
x = [-(-4) + √(-4)² - 4(-3)(-4)]/2(-3) =
<em>2 + √-32/2</em>x = [-(-4) - √(-4)² - 4(-3)(-4)]/2(-3) =
<em> 2 - √-32/2</em>
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!!
