You are running the snack stand at the local high school football game. You are asked to calculate how many hot dogs and hamburgers you need to sell to raise $400. The profit for each hamburger is $5. The profit for each hot dog is $2. You are filling out a table in order to figure out how many hot dogs you need to sell when you sell a certain number of hamburgers. You come up with the equation 5x + 2y = 400. You wonder if it would be easier to get the y by itself before you fill in the table.
