Kevin and his children went into a restaurant and he bought $31.50 worth of hotdogs and drinks. Each hotdog costs $4.50 and each drink costs $2.25. He bought 3 times as many hotdogs as drinks. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of hotdogs, x,x, and the number of drinks, y,y, that Kevin bought.

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 hot dogs, 2 drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

let y = number of hot dogs

let x = number of drinks

system:

y = 3x

4.5y + 2.25x = 31.50   (standard form:  y = -1/2x + 7)

if you graph the system, lines intersect at (2, 6)

Answer:

y=1/3 x

y=-2x+14

(6,2)

6 hotdogs  and 2 drinks
