Answer:

35 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation:

You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hotdogs and sodas.

Let the number of hot dogs be represented by x

The number of soda be represented by y

You sold a total of 87 hotdogs and sodas combined

x + y = 87

x = 87 - y

Each hotdog cost $1.50 and each soda cost $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50.

Hence we have the equation:

$1.50 × x + $0.50 × y = $78.50

1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50

Substitute 87 - y for x

1.50(87 - y) + 0.50y = 78.50

130.5 - 1.50y + 0.50y = 78.50

Collect like terms

- 1.50y + 0.50y = 78.50 - 130.50

-1.00y = -52

y = -52/-1

y = 52 sodas

How many hotdogs did you sell?

Using the equation:

x = 87 - y

x = 87 - 52

x = 35 hotdogs

Hence, you sold 35 hotdogs

LU 1<br>- 2x + 3 &lt; 5 and - 4x – 3 &gt; 9​
Lynna [10]

Answer: x>-1

               x<-3

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+3

subtract 3 on both sides

-2x

divide -2 on both sides

x>-1

The sign changed because I divided by a negative.

-4x-3>9

add 3 on both sides

-4x>12

multiply -1 on both sides

4x

divide 4 on both sides

x
