Kelly needs to order lunch for orders 6 people at a business meeting. her menu choices are chicken salad for a cost of $5 per person and egg salad for a cost of $4 per person. she only had$28 to spend. more people want chicken salad. write and graph one equation in a system for this situation.

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

Its d so thats how it would would back from 1.0 form three four two

Chope this have a nice day btw the other person deserves brainlest
