x => Hamburgers
y => Hot dogs
x + y = 26
3.5x + 2y = 70
-2x - 2y = -52
3.5x + 2y = 70
-----------------------
1.5x = 18
x = 18 / 1.5 = 12
y = 26 - 12 = 14
They sold 12 hamburgers and 14 hot dogs
Answer:1.A
2.D
Step-by-step explanation:
First we pick the equation. Let's say we pick first one. From it we express y.

Then we use this y and plug it in instead of y in the second equation.

Now just solve for x.

We plug this x in the first equation.

And solve for y.

So the solution to the equation is geometrically a point P which lies on the intersection of the two lines.

Hope this helps.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5/7 - 9/14 = (2 * 5)/(2 * 7) - (1 * 9)/(1 * 14) = 10/14 - 9/14 = (10 - 9)/14 = 1/14
