stich3 [128]

Answer:

<em>He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Kevin and his children went into a restaurant and bought $31.50 worth of hotdogs and drinks. Each hotdog costs $4.50 and each drink costs $2.25.

To solve the system of equations, we'll call the variables:

x = number of hotdogs

y = number of drinks

The first condition yields the equation:

4.50x + 2.25y = 31.50          [1]

It's also known he bought 3 times as many hotdogs as drinks, thus:

x = 3y         [2}

Substituting [2] in [1]:

4.50(3y) + 2.25y = 31.50

Operating:

13.5y + 2.25y = 31.50

15.75y = 31.50

y = 31.50/15.75

y = 2

And

x = 3*2 = 6

He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks

a rental car agency charges a flat fee of $110 plus $46 per day to rent a certain car. another agency charges a fee of $70 plus
insens350 [35]
First make and equation. Since you want to find the number of the day where both charge the same total amount, you would make the equation:
let x= the number of days
110+46(x)=70+54(x)
Solve:
110-70+46(x)=70-70+54(x)
40+46(x)=54(x)
40+46(x)-46(x)=54(x)-46(x)
40=8(x)
40/8=8x/8
5=x
Therefore your answer would be 5 days
