Question

Please help if you can!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:Well, I don't know what you got so I can't tell you if it is right.

If it works in both equations, it depends of whether your equations are set up correctly.

Here is how I would do this problem.

Let x = no. of hot dogs,y = number of sodas.

First equation is just about the number of things.

x + y = 15

Second equation is about the cost of things.

1.5 x + .75 y = 18

solve x+y = 15 for y  y = 15-x    substitute into second equation

1.5x + .75(15 - x) = 18    

You should get the correct answer for number of hot dogs if you solve this correctly.  Put your answer in the x + y =15 equation to get y.  Then put both x and y into the cost equation and check your answer.

Hope this helps.
