One hot dog costs $1.75 and one hamburger costs $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Hot dog = x

Hamburger = y

According to given statement;

7x+2y=16.75   Eqn 1

2x+7y=19.25   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 2;

2(7x+2y=16.75)\\14x+4y=33.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Multiplying Eqn 2 by 7;

7(2x+7y=19.25)\\14x+49y=134.75\ \ \ Eqn\ 4

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 4;

(14x+49y)-(14x+4y)=134.75-33.50\\14x+49y-14x-4y=101.25\\45y=101.25

Dividing both sides by 45;

\frac{45y}{45}=\frac{101.25}{45}\\y=2.25

Putting y=2.25 in Eqn 1

7x+2(2.25)=16.75\\7x+4.50=16.75\\7x=16.75-4.50\\7x=12.25

Dividing both sides by 7;

\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{12.25}{7}\\x=1.75

One hot dog costs $1.75 and one hamburger costs $2.25

The value of x is 1.25 or 1 1/4

Explanation
==============================
275x=500-125x 
Move variable to the left side and change its sign
275x+125x=500
Collect the like terms
275x+125x=500 =====> 400x=500
Divide both sides of the equation by 400
400x/400=500 =======> x=5/4 which is the same as 1 1/4 or 1.25
Hope this helps : )

The unit rate you're trying to find is pages per day(or p/d), so the equation needs to have both a unit for pages and for days.
The equation we have is:
5,249 = 29d
If they read 5,249 <em>pages</em>, then we can include the unit for pages in the equation.
Since we also know that <em>d</em> is the number of days it took, you can replace <em>d</em> with days.
The equation becomes:
5,249\ pages=29*(x\days)
Now that we have one variable, we can solve for <em>p/d</em>:
\frac{5,249\ pages}{29}=x\ days\\\\181 = x
Thus it took them 181 days to read it all.

If Johnny read 5,249 pages over 181 days and the unit rate is pages per day(p/d), then the equation for finding <em>p/d</em> is:
\frac{p\ pages}{d\ days}=\frac{5,249\ pages}{181\ days}=\frac{29\ pages}{1\ day}\\\\29\ \frac{pages}{day}
Johnny read 29 pages per day.
