At a particular restaurant, each chicken wing has 75 calories and each slider has 250 calories. A combination meal with chicken wings and sliders is shown to have 800 total calories and twice as many chicken wings as there are sliders. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of chicken wings in the combination meal and the number of sliders in the combination meal. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Know a are:

CW=75. SL= 250. Y= 2x

CW= X= number of wings

SL= Y= number of sliders

X+Y= Total number of items, which can be rewritten as X+2X= total

Plug in the calories for the total

2(75X) +250X= 800

150x+250X= 400X= 800

X= 800/400=2 pieces of Slider

Double the amount for Wings=2x2=4

4wings/2 Sliders

The equations that  could be used to determine the number of chicken wings and sliders in the combination meal is:

75w + 250s = 800

w = 2s

Where:

w = chicken wings

s = sliders

The two equations derived from the question are known as simultaneous equations. Both equations have to be solved together in order to determine the number of wings and sliders.

The total calories of wings = number of wings x calories of each wing

75 x w = 75w

The total calories of sliders = number of sliders x calories of each sliders

250 x s = 250s
