Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h and c are the numbers of hamburgers and cheeseburgers, respectively.

“a combined total of 486 hamburgers and cheeseburgers”

h + c = 486

“64 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers”

c = h - 64

Substitution:

h + (h-64) = 486

2h = 550

h = 275

275 hamburgers were sold
