Using the midline property;
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
<span>X/2 = 4/16
This is where you would use cross-multiplication.
Multiply the x with 16 and the 2 with 4.
16x = 8
Now divide everything by 16.
x = 0.5</span>
Answer:
✅On average Albany gets 20.967 inches rain pee year and Zachary gets 25.153 inches rain per year.
✅On average, it rains more in Zachary in a year.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean annual rainfall on average = total amount of rainfall for the period of years ÷ 10
✔️Mean Annual rainfall for Albany (in.):
= (22.82 + 19.83 + 28.40 + 23.35 + 30.78 + 21.34 + 11.20 + 17.04 + 18.63 + 16.28) ÷ 10
= 20.967
✔️Mean Annual rainfall for Zachary (in.):
= (26.41 + 23.54 + 30.02 + 26.35 + 34.24 + 25.74 + 18.98 + 21.26 + 23.61 + 21.38) ÷ 10
= 25.153
✅Therefore, on average Albany gets 20.967 inches rain pee year and Zachary gets 25.153 inches rain per year.
✅On average, it rains more in Zachary in a year.
