How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Let's say the cost of chicken = c

cost of ham = h

Given,

Sharon's Deli charged the Business Club $231 for 18 chicken lunches and 14 ham lunches.

So,

18c + 14h = 231

And,

$225.00 for 15 chicken lunches and 16 ham

So,

15c + 16h = 225

By solving both equations

h = 7.5 and c = 7

Hence, a single chicken lunch will cost $7
