Question 749638: You buy a total of 50 turkey burgers and veggies burgers for $90. You pay $2 per turkey burger and $1.50 per veggie burger.
I have to write 2 equations to represent the situation then solve them. I have come up with 2t + v= $90 and t + 1.50= 50 which I then subtracted the two equations and came out with v=5 and t=42.5 which can't be the answer since their is a total of 50.
Thank you for you time :)

Question 749612: A kicker on a football team scores 1 point for making an extra point and 3 points for making a field goal. The kicker makes a total of 8 extra points and field goals in one game. He scored a total of 12 points in the game.
I have to write 2 equations representing the situation and solve them. I think I will be able to solve them but I can't come up with the equations.
1x + y =8
3x + y =12, is all I am able to come up with.
Your time is greatly appreciated. (:
