Answer

Burger meal = $8 and Hot dog meal = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use "x" to represent burger meals and "y" to represent hot dog meals.

Garcia family:

3x + 4y = $48

Baker family:

6x + 2y = $60

We have to first compare both families' and then eliminate one of our common variables, either the "x" or "y".

3x + 4y = $48

6x + 2y = $60

Let's eliminate "x". To do this we can multiply "3x" by "-2" to get "-6x". This will cancel out "6x":

-2 (3x + 4y = $48) ...our new equation would be....

-6x - 8y = -$96

Now to add our two families' equations together...

-6x - 8y = -$96

+

6x + 2y = $60

=

- 6y = -$36

Divide both sides by "-6" to get "y" by itself.

y = $6

We now know the value of "y" <em>or </em>one hot dog meal. Next, we want to solve for "x", our variable for the hamburger meal... We will plug in our y value to help us...

3x + 4(6) = $48

3x + 24 = $48

We want to get our x by itself. First, we can subtract 24 from each side.

3x = $24

Then we will divided both sides by 3 to get x alone.

x = $8

To check our work we can plug in our values for both "x" and "y" to see if they add up to $48 and $60:

3(8) + 4(6) = $48

24 + 24 = $48

and...

6(8) + 2(6) = $60

48 + 12 = $60
