7h + 6b = 35.50
5h + 6b = 30.50

The difference between the 2 totals spent is $5, and there were the same number of burgers, but 2 fewer hotdogs. So $5/2 = $2.50, the cost of a hot dog. Substitute that into the equations to solve for burgers (b)

5(2.50) + 6b = 30.50
12.50 + 6b = 30.50
6b = 18
b = 3

Check the work:
7(2.50) + 6(3) =
17.50 + 18 = 35.50

the slide at the playground has a height of 6 feet.The base of the slide measured on the ground is 8 feet.what is the length of

NemiM [27]

The formula for finding the length is
${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$
All we have to do is plug in the numbers.

${6}^{2} + {8}^{2} = {c}^{2}$
36 + 64 = 100

Since 100 =
${c}^{2}$
we have to find the square root.

$\sqrt{100} = 10$

The length of the slide is 10 feet.
