Answer:
a) 0
b)2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Basically, the question is asking what the x value is when the y value is at 4, which would be 0.
b) Same thing here, but with the x value is when the y value is -2.
Get the decimal version of 26% by moving the decimal (at the end) over to spots, giving you .26. Multiply 50 by this, and you get .26*50=13. : )
Let the number of sodas sold be x and the number of hotdogs sold be y. We can assemble a system of equations from the information given and solve.
x+y=170 (We know that soda + dogs is 170)
x-50=y (We know that dogs is equal to 50 less than sodas)
We can use substitution to solve this system of equations.
x+y=170
Sub in the value of y from the second equation
x+(x-50)=170
2x-50=170
2x=220
x=110
We now know the number of sodas sold was 110. Lets now plug this value into the equation to solve for y.
x+y=170
110+y=170
y=60
So, there were 60 hotdogs sold and 110 sodas sold.
