Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is similar to many others in which the sum of two quantities and their difference are given. The solution can be found easily when the equations for the relations are written in standard form.
<h3>Setup</h3>
Let s and h represent numbers of sodas and hot dogs sold, respectively. The given relations are ...
- s +h = 235 . . . . . combined total
- s -h = 59 . . . . . . difference in the quantities
<h3>Solution</h3>
Adding the two equations eliminates one variable.
(s +h) +(s -h) = (235) +(59)
2s = 294 . . . . simplify
s = 147 . . . . . .divide by 2
h = 147 -59 = 88 . . . . h is 59 less
147 sodas and 88 hot dogs were sold.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The solution to a "sum and difference" problem is always the same. One of the numbers is half the sum of those given, and the other is half their difference. ((235-59)/2 = 88)
Answer:
see the explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> number of tennis balls
y ----> number of tennis rackets
we know that
To find out the ratio of tennis balls to tennis rackets, divide the number of tennis ball by the number of tennis rackets
In this problem we have

see the model in the attached figure N 1
so


This is the equation of a linear direct variation
The relationship between the variables x and y is proportional
