The number of burger sam bought = x
Let the number of burgers for mike be = y
the equation for the total number of burgers will be
[tex]x+y=50\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots(\text{eqn 1)}[/tex]Mike brought 5 more than 2 times as many burgers as sam will be represented as
[tex]y=2x+5\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots..(Eqn\text{ 2)}[/tex]By substituting Eqn 2 in Eqn 1 we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} x+y=50 \\ x+2x+5=50 \\ 3x+5=50 \\ 3x=50-5 \\ 3x=45 \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{45}{3} \\ x=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore,
The value of x= 15
To calculate the number of burgers mike brought to the BBQ =y,
We will substitute the value of x in (Eqn 1) above
[tex]undefined[/tex]
