Megan Cobb · Answer 1

H+s=244

h=s-38

sub s-38 for h

s-38+s=244

2s-38=244

add 38 both sides

2s=282

divide 2 both sides

s=141

sub

h=s-38

h=141-38

h=103

103 hot dogs

141 sodas

Danna Bradley · Answer 2

Let sodas = x.

Hot dogs = x - 38

x + x - 38 = 244

2x - 38 = 244

2x = 244 + 38

2x = 282

x = 282/2

x = 141

sodas = x = 141, hot dogs = x - 38 = 141 - 38 = 103
