Answer:
h + c = 3 and 4h + 4c =10
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
If hot dogs = h, and chips = c,
Then the first scenerio can be written as h + c = 3
The second scenerio is 4h + 4c = 10.
So, your system should be
h + c = 3 and 4h + 4c =10
Solve this system
First, solve c + h = 3 for c.
Subtract h on both sides.
c = -h + 3
Then, substitute c = -h + 3 into the second equation (4c + 4h = 10)
4(-h + 3) + 4h = 10
Simplify.
- 4h + 12 + 4h = 10
12 = 10
This is not right, so this system has no solutions. This means that there is no set cost for the chips or hot dogs (or for both).
