Answer:
The cafeteria sold 4 bowls of chicken soup.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
6 fewer bowls of chicken soup were sold in a cafeteria than bowls of tomato soup.
Let x be the number of tomato soup bowls.
Thus, the number of chicken soup =
[tex]x - 6[/tex]
Total number of bowls of soup = 14
Thus,we can write the equation:
[tex]x + (x-6) \\=14\\2x - 6 =14\\2x = 14+6=20\\x = 10\\x-6 = 4[/tex]
Thus, the cafeteria sold 4 bowls of chicken soup.
