Answer:

McDonald’s Quarter Pounders = 67 mg of cholesterol

Burger King Whoppers = 87 of cholesterol

Step-by-step explanation:

McDonald’s Quarter Pounders = m

Burger King Whoppers = b

2m + 3b = 395

3m + 1b = 288

3m + b = 288

b = -3m + 288

2m + 3b = 395

2m + 3(-3m + 288) = 395

2m - 9m + 864 = 395

- 7m + 864 = 395

- 7m/7 = -469/7

-m = -67

-m/-1 = -67/-1

m = 67

2m + 3b = 395

2(67) + 3b = 395

134 + 3b = 395

3b = 395 - 134

3b = 261

3b/3 = 261/3

b = 87

Check: m = 67; b = 87

2m + 3b = 395

3m + 1b = 288

2m + 3b = 395

2(67) + 3(87) = 395

134 + 261 = 395

395 = 395

3m + 1b = 288

3(67) + 1(87) = 288

201 + 87 = 288

288 = 288

8 + 6x - 10x = 16 - 8x
Svetllana [295]
The answer is x=2

Remember, first add/substract the like terms, in this case 6x-10x to get -4x. Then, add 8x to negative 8x to cancel it out and do the same thing to -4x. Do this with all your terms and you should get 4x=8. Then divide both sides by 4 to get x=2.
