Answer: choice A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.
x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)
x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)
We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.
x+y=170
Sub in the value of y from the second equation
x+(x-50)=170
2x-50=170
2x=220
x=110
We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.
x+y=170
110+y=170
y=60
So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve:
x - 8 = -20
Simply add +8 to both sides of the equation.
It becomes :
x - 8 +8 = -20 + 8
Note that, -8 + 8 will cancel out, and results to zero.
Therefore the equation becomes :
x = -20 + 8
x = -12.
