If a hamburger shop sold a combined total of 423 hamburgers and cheeseburgers but the number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold

141

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we choose two variables to represent the two unknown numbers, the number of hamburgers and the number of cheeseburgers.

Let x = number of hamburgers.

Let y = number of cheeseburgers.

Now we use the given information to write two equations using the variables we defined above.

"If a hamburger shop sold a combined total of 423 hamburgers and cheeseburgers"

x + y = 423

"the number of cheeseburgers sold was two

times the number of hamburgers sold"

y = 2x

We have a system of two equations.

x + y = 423

y = 2x

Since the second equation is already solved for y, we can easily use the substitution method. We substitute what y equals to (2x) for y in the first equation.

x + y = 423

x + 2x = 423

3x = 423

x = 141

Since we let x = number of hamburgers, we have the answer.

141

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
