Respuesta :

calculista

Answer:

The number of banana splits sold was [tex]28[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of sundaes sold

y-----> the number of banana splits sold

we know that

[tex]2x+3y=156[/tex] -----> equation A

[tex]x=y+8[/tex] ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

[tex]2(y+8)+3y=156[/tex]

[tex]2y+16+3y=156[/tex]

[tex]5y=156-16[/tex]

[tex]5y=140[/tex]

[tex]y=28[/tex]
