A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 509 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Thursday. There were 59 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Thursday?

Let hamburgers equal x, then cheeseburgers equal x+59

x+x+59=509

2x=509-59

2x=450

x=225 (hamburgers)

225+59=284 (cheeseburgers)

Step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
