For a club gathering you were having, you bought a total of 50 burgers, and spent $90. You paid $2 per turkey burger, and $1.50

for each veggie burger. Next year, you want to spend the same amount of money on burgers, $90. If the number of turkey burgers is doubled, would you have to cut the number of veggie burgers in half? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>No. You would have to cut the number of veggie burgers in more than half.</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Model the situation with a system of equations</u>

<u />

<u>a) Name the variables:</u>

  • number of turkey burgers: t
  • number of veggie burgers: v

<u />

<u>b) Number of burgers:</u>

  • 50 = t + v

<u />

<u>c) Cost of the 50 burgers:</u>

  • $90 = 2t + 1.50v

<u>2. Solve that system of equations:</u>

<u />

<u>a) System</u>

  • 50 = t + v
  • 90 = 2t + 1.50v

<u>b) Mutliply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation</u>

  • 100 = 2t + 2v
  •  90 = 2t + 1.50v

  • 10 = 0.5v
  • v = 20 ⇒ t = 50 - 20 = 30

<u />

<u>c) How much would you spend if the next year you buy the double of 20 turkey burgers (40) and the half of 30 veggie burgers (15)</u>

  • $2(40) + $1.50(15) = $80 + $22.50 = $102.50

Then, you if you double the number of turkey burgers, and cut the number burgers in half, you would spend more than $90 ($102.50).

Solve for x, and refer to the attached image.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

7+5x

so basically what you have to do is take the 7 and subtract from both sides

so like this: 7-7 is 0 so that cancels then 47-7 is 40

then you take 5x and divide 40 by 5

so x=8

hope this helped!
