Answer:

<em>He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>System of Equations</u>

Kevin and his children went into a restaurant and bought $31.50 worth of hotdogs and drinks. Each hotdog costs $4.50 and each drink costs $2.25.

To solve the system of equations, we'll call the variables:

x = number of hotdogs

y = number of drinks

The first condition yields the equation:

4.50x + 2.25y = 31.50          [1]

It's also known he bought 3 times as many hotdogs as drinks, thus:

x = 3y         [2}

Substituting [2] in [1]:

4.50(3y) + 2.25y = 31.50

Operating:

13.5y + 2.25y = 31.50

15.75y = 31.50

y = 31.50/15.75

y = 2

And

x = 3*2 = 6

He bought 6 hotdogs and 2 drinks

Why not?<br> If 4 + 6 = 10, does (4 + 6) X 3 = 10 X 3? Why<br> or why not?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

It would be 10*3

Step-by-step explanation:

If we follow the rule of BIDMAS or BODMAS, they both have Brackets to be done first.

By meaning we must do 4+6 as it is in the bracket. Then we multiply our answer by 3.
