On Friday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 390 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Friday?

Answer:

There were 130 hamburgers sold on Friday

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that the number of hamburgers sold is x

∵ The number hamburgers sold = x

∵ The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of

   hamburgers sold

∴ The number of cheeseburgers sold = 2x

∵ On Friday, the shop sold a combined total of 390 hamburgers and

    cheeseburgers

→ Add x and 2x, then equate the sum by 390

x + 2x = 390

→ Add the like terms

∴ 3x = 390

→ Divide both sides by 3

∵ [tex]\frac{3x}{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{390}{3}[/tex]

x = 130

∵ x represents the number of hamburgers
