The Woodson and Baker families went to the Burger Shack for dinner. The Woodsons bought 3 burger meals and 4 hot dog meals for $48. The Bakers bought 6 burger meals and 2 hot dog meals for $60. How much does each meal cost? Show your work.
If x represents the cost of burger meals, then y represents Response area.
The system of linear equations would look like Response area.
How much does a burger meal cost? Response area
How much does a hot dog meal cost?
If x represents the cost of a burger meal and y represents the cost of a hot dog meal, then the system of linear equations would be:
3x + 4y = 48 (from the Woodsons' order)
6x + 2y = 60 (from the Bakers' order)
To solve for x and y, we can use elimination. Multiplying the first equation by -2 and adding it to the second equation eliminates the y variable:
-6x - 8y = -96 (multiply first equation by -2)
6x + 2y = 60 (second equation)
---------
-6y = -36
y = 6
Substituting y = 6 into the first equation to solve for x:
3x + 4(6) = 48
3x + 24 = 48
3x = 24
x = 8
Therefore, a burger meal costs $8 and a hot dog meal costs $6.

I apologize for my mistake. You are correct, the solution to the system of equations 8x-2y=-4 and 4x-y=-2 is (0, -2).
thx
You're welcome! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Karen bought some potted plants.
Petunias cost $7 per pot.
Begonias cost $8 per pot.
She bought 22 potted plants and spent a total of $163. How many petunias did Karen buy?

Let x be the number of petunias Karen bought and y be the number of begonias Karen bought.
We know that:
x + y = 22 (Karen bought a total of 22 potted plants)
7x + 8y = 163 (Karen spent a total of $163)
Using the first equation, we can solve for y:
x + y = 22
y = 22 - x
Substituting y = 22 - x into the second equation, we can solve for x:
7x + 8(22 - x) = 163
7x + 176 - 8x = 163
-x = -13
x = 13
Therefore, Karen bought 13 petunias.
