At the football game, 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks cost $34, and 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks cost $25. Which two equations can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink? Let x represent the cost of a hamburger and y represent the cost of a soft drink.

Respuesta :

Answer:

 [tex]4x+6y=34\\\\4x+3y=25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the cost in dollars of a hamburger and "y" the cost in dollars of a soft drink.

The cost of 4 hamburguers can be represented with this expression:

[tex]4x[/tex]

And the cost of 6 soft drinks  can be represented with this expression:

[tex]6y[/tex]

Since the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks is $34, you can write the following equation:

[tex]4x+6y=34[/tex]   [Equation 1]

 The following expression represents the the cost of 3 soft drinks:

[tex]3y[/tex]

According to the information given in the exercise, the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks is $25. Then, the equation that represents this is:

[tex]4x+3y=25[/tex] [Equation 2]

Therefore, the Equation 1 and the Equation 2 can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink
