Let x = number of hamburgers
Let y = number of bagels
2x + y = 482
x + 2y = 370
--- multiply second equation by 2
2x + y = 482
2x + 4y = 740
--- subtract second equation from first
-3y = -258
---
y = 86; substitute into first equation:
---
2x + 86 = 482
2x = 396
x = 198
---
Proof: 2*(198) + 86 = 396 + 86 = 482
198 + 2(86) = 198 + 172 = 370
