x= 	Number of	hamburgers						
y=	Number of	sodas						
 								
1	x	+	1	y	=	230	.............1	
Total value

Eliminate	y							
Add the two equations								
2	x				=	268		
/	2							
x	=	134						
plug value of			x	in (1)				
1	x	+	1	y	=	230		
134		+		y	=	230		
				y	=	230		-134
				y	=	96		
				y	=	96
