Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the number of sodas sold, x>=0
y = the number of hot dogs sold, y>=0
At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 232 sodas and hot dogs:
x + y = 232
The number of hot dogs sold was 50 less than the number of sodas sold:
y = x - 50
By solving the system of equations:
x + y = 232
y = x - 50
........
........
x = 141 sodas
y = 91 hot dogs
There were 141 sodas and 91 hot dogs sold.
