I need the answers for #7 and #8

7. x=9, y=7 The first number is 9, and the second number will be 7.

8. h= $2.25 c= $1.19 The cost of each hotdog is $2.25, and the cost of each bag of chips is $1.19.

Step-by-step explanation:

7. First lets define the variables: x=first number; y=the second number

Now we set up a system of equations:

Eq. 1. 2x+y=25  Eq. 2. 3x-y=20

Now we solve (I'm going to use subsitution you can use wtv you are comfortable with)

1. 2x+y=25      1. y=25-2x

Subsitute.

2. 3x-y=20       2. 3x- (25-2x)=20

Simplify.

3x-25+2x=20        5x-25=20          5x=45      x=9

Now solve for y by subsituting x into one of the equations.

1. 2x+y=25      2(9)+y=25       18+y=25      y= 7

The first number is 9, and the second number will be 7.

8. Define the variables.

h= cost of a hotdog; c=cost of a bag of chips

System of Equations:

Eq. 1. 5h+3c=14.82 Eq. 2. 7h+6c=22.89

Now solve.

1. 5h+3c=14.82  2. 7h+6c=22.89

Using subsitution...

h=2.25 c=1.19

The cost of each hotdog is $2.25, and the cost of each bag of chips is $1.19.
