Hello!
Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:
• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)
,
• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)
He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:
• x + y = 11
He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:
• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29
Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:

First, let's isolate x in equation A:

Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:

As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.
Answer:
- 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that - (- 12) = + 12
Thus
- 17 - (- 12) = - 17 + 12 = - 5
It looks like Tom subtracted 12 from - 17, that is - 17 - 12 = - 29
The correct one would be a 1122
