Pizzas were 2 dollars hamburgers were 6 dollars if there were two more than twice the number of pizzas and the total was 84 dollars how many pizzas and hamburgers were ther

Answer provided by our tutors

let


h = the number of hamburgers

p = the number of pizzas


if there are two more hamburgers than twice the number of pizzas


h = 2 + 2p


the total was 84 dollars


2p + 6h = 84


plug h = 2 + 2p into the last equation


2p + 6(2 + 2p) = 84


by solving we find


p = 5.14
