Answer: 143 hamburgers and 429 cheese burgers
Explanation:
Call h and c the number of both items.
(h-hamburger and c-cheeseburger)
h + c = 572
c = 3h
Sub the second into the first
h + 3h = 572
4h = 572
Divide both sides by 4
h = 143 hamburgers
Use this back into the second equation
c = 3 • 143 = 429 cheeseburgers
3t − 1/4 = 7/8
Add 1/4 to both sides.
3t + −1/4 + 1/4 = 7/8 + 1/4
3t = 9/8
Divide both sides by 3.
3t/3 = 98/3
t=3/8
