Let x be cost of a hamburger and y be cost of hot dog
\n" ); document.write( "2x+y=482 cents
\n" ); document.write( "x+2y=370 cents
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 2nd eq. by \"2\" to get 2x+47=740
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract this from the 1st eq. to get:
\n" ); document.write( "-3y=-258
\n" ); document.write( " y=86 cents
\n" ); document.write( " Substitute that into the 1st equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( " 2x+86=482
\n" ); document.write( " 2x=396
\n" ); document.write( " x=198 cents
\n" ); document.write( "So, hambugers cost $1.98; hot dogs cost $.86 \r
