Answer: 84  hamburgers were sold on Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of hamburguers sold on Friday.

Knowing that the number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold, this can be represented with:

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

Then, we can write the following expression:

 [tex]x+y=252[/tex]

Substituting [tex]y=2x[/tex]:

[tex]x+2x=252[/tex]

And finally solving for x:

[tex]3x=252\\\\x=\frac{252}{3}\\\\x=84[/tex]

So, 84  hamburgers were sold on Friday.

Answer:

84 hamburgers

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a total of 252 hamburgers and cheeseburgers were sold at a shop.

Given that the number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold, we are to find the number of hamburgers sold.

Assuming [tex]x[/tex] to be the number of hamburgers and [tex]y[/tex] yo be the number of cheeseburgers:

[tex]x+y=252[/tex]

Cheeseburgers = 2 (hamburgers)

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

[tex]x+2x=252[/tex]

[tex]3x=252[/tex]

[tex]x=84[/tex]

Therefore, 84 hamburgers were sold on Friday.
