Step-by-step explanation:
It's already in a form that only ha positive exponents. Just to state it though you could rewrite it as 
or 
The question asks for positive exponents though so yu don't need to do that.
You also need to know 
so in this case 
so 
Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.
x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)
x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)
We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.
x+y=170
Sub in the value of y from the second equation
x+(x-50)=170
2x-50=170
2x=220
x=110
We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.
x+y=170
110+y=170
y=60
So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
