Ahmed is taking orders for lunch. A slice of pizza costs $2.5 and a chicken
sandwich costs $3.5. He collects $26.5
for the group of 9 people.
Assuming each person orders only one item, how
many people ordered a chicken sandwich?
Enter the correct answer.
000
DONE
Clear all
Let x = number of pizza orders. Let
y = number of chicken orders.
?

4 and 5)16.97 or 12√2

6)15.59 or 9√3

7)y = 15.59 or 9√3     x =27

8)17.80

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
