Answer 2

263 cheeseburgers?

Answer 3

Not quite...because there were only 58 fewer cheeseburgers...lets try it again

c + h = 642

c = h - 58

(h - 58) + h = 642

2h - 58 = 642

2h = 700

h = 350

So 350 hamburgers....and that means there would be 292 Cheeseburgers...since 350 - 58 = 292..

and to check....350 + 292 = 642...There we go :)
