Keisha and her friends visit the concession stand at the basketball game. the stand charges $2 for a hotdog and $1 for a drink. the friends buy a total of 8 items for $11. how many hot dogs and how many drinks did they buy? show your work and explain your reasoning. ( , for math homework)

They bought 3 hot dogs and 5 drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, its mostly guess and check.

x=hot dogs                   y= drinks                    x+y=8

2x + 1y =11

2(1) + 1(7) = 9 (wrong answer)

2(2) + 1(6)= 10 (wrong answer)

2(3) + 1(5) = 11 (right answer)

The reason I pick these numbers is because the x and the y need to add up to 8 and as you can see on each try they added up to 8 but it also had the equation itself had to add up to $11. So, you substitute the numbers that add up to 8 to x and y to make sure the equation equals 11.

1)is not similar since corresponding sides are not in the same ratio

2)are similar since corresponding sides are in the same ratio and corresponding angles are equal

hope it will
