Hello!
Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:
• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)
,
• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)
He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:
• x + y = 11
He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:
• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29
Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:

First, let's isolate x in equation A:

Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:

As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.
Angle D is equal to Angle B because AB and DE are parallel to each other.
AD is a straight line so the (2) 2x angles and 72 degrees need to equal 180.
Setting up the equation you have:
2x + 2x + 72 = 180
Simplify:
4x + 72 = 180
Subtract 72 from each side:
4x = 108
Divide both sides by 4:
x = 108 / 4
x = 27
Rewrite as (2^1/2 + 2^1/2)*(18^1/2-2^1/2) = 8
