Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

If the lonely negative sign infront of the brackets is confusing, it can be rewritten as -1.

To solve, simplify by expanding then isolate x.

-8 = -( x +4)

-8 = -1 ( x +4)       Distribute over brackets by changing the each term's sign

-8 = -x - 4            Start isolating x by moving everything to the other side

-8 +4  = -x -4 + 4        Add 4 to both sides so it cancels out on the right

-4  = -x

-4  = -1x           <= -x is the same at -1x

-4/-1  = -x/-1     <=divide both sides by negative 1

4 = x

x = 4      <= usually we write the variable on the left side

aliina [53]
Let the number of hamburgers = h

Let the number of cheeseburgers = c

Now we translate the given information into equations.

"combined total of 770 [ham]burgers and cheeseburgers"
h + c = 770

<span>"there were 70 more cheeseburger sold than hamburgers"
</span><span>
</span><span>c = h + 70
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Our system of equations is
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span />h + c = 770
c = h + 70

The second equation is already solved for c, so we replace c of the first equation with h + 70.
h + h + 70 = 770
2h + 70 = 770
2h = 700
h = 350

Answer:  350 hamburgers were sold on Monday.

Types of deserts = 4

Number of different meals consisting of a main course, a drink and a desert offered

Using the combination rule :

9C1 * 7C1 * 4C1

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

So using calculator we obtain :
