A local hamburger shop sold a total of 712 burgers on Tuesday
There are 62 more cheeseburgers than hamburgers
let cheeseburers = c
let hamburgers = h
h + 62 = c
c + h = 712
Plug in h + 62 for c
(h + 62) + h = 712
2h + 62 = 712
2h + 62 (-62) = 712 (-62)
2h = 650
2h/2 = 650/2
h = 325
There are 325 hamburgers sold on Tuesday
c = 325 + 62
c = 387
There are 387 chesseburgers sold on tuesday (in case you were wondering)
hope this helps
