HELP At a football game, a vender sold a combined total of 123 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was two times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold.

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

123 = d + 2s

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

same thing...

OpenStudy (masierr):

yeah oops

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

so what's the answer

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

guys. You dont have to use 2 separate variables here lol.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

how many sodas and hotdogs

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Just say this\[2x+x=123\]simplifies to\[3x=123\] solve for x. Plug x back into the original equation to determine the number of sodas and hotdogs sold.

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

41

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yes so 41 represents what? the hotdogs or the sodas?

OpenStudy (flvskidd):

82 sodas and 41 hotdogs

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

yep gj

OpenStudy (flvskidd):
