Answer:
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 9 from both sides to cancel it out.
-27=-y/9
/9 /9
-3=-y
We can't have a negative variable, so we divide -1 from both sides.
-3=-y
/-1 /-1\
3=y

Answer:
180 hamburgers
120 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold
We proceed as follows;
Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.
We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;
x + y = 300 ..........(I)
Now let’s look at the prices.
x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs
y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.
Adding both to give total, we have ;
2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)
This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y
Now let’s insert this in the second equation;
2(300-y) + 3y = 780
600-2y + 3y = 780
y = 780-600 = 180
Recall; x + y = 300
x = 300 -y
x = 300-180 = 120
3. x+100 = 90 alternate interior angles are equal
subtract 100 from each side
x+100 - 100 = 90-100
x = -10
4. 17x+1 = 120 alternate exterior angles are equal
subtract 1 from each side
17x+ 1 -1 = 120 -1
17x = 119
divide each side by 17
17x/17 = 119
x =7
