Answer:

x = -6 y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding the two equations and you get, -3x-3y + 3x+8y= 6+9

=> 5y = 15

=> y = 3

Plug y in each equation

-3x -3(3) = 9

-3x -9 = 9

-3x = 18

x = -6

3x + 8(3) = 6

3x +24 = 6

3x = -18

x = -6

x => Hamburgers

y => Hot dogs

x + y = 26

3.5x + 2y = 70

-2x - 2y = -52

3.5x + 2y = 70

-----------------------

1.5x = 18

x = 18 / 1.5 = 12

y = 26 - 12 = 14

They sold 12 hamburgers and 14 hot dogs

Answer:

2 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

To be the same they must equal each other.

4.50 + 0.65x = 0.40x + 5

isolate the variable

subtract 4.50 from both sides

0.65x = 0.40x + 0.50

subtract 0.40x from both sides

0.25x = 0.50

divide both sides by 0.25

x = 0.50 ÷ 0.25

x = 2
