Answer:
350 hamburgers were sold on Thursday.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h be hamburgers and c be cheeseburgers.
We can write a system of equations for this scenario:
A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 756 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Thursday.
h + c = 756
There were 56 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.
c = h + 56
Now, we can plug the values in and solve for h.
c = 756
c = 756 - h
c = h + 56
(756 - h) = h + 56
756 = 2h + 56
700 = 2h
350 hamburgers were sold on Thursday.
