Answer:

The number of hamburgers sold was 139 and the number of cheeseburgers  sold was 278.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the numbers of hamburgers sold on Thursday

y -----> the numbers of cheeseburgers sold on Thursday

we know that

[tex]x+y=417[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]y=2x[/tex] ----> equation B

Substitute the equation B in equation A and solve for x

[tex]x+2x=417[/tex]

[tex]3x=417[/tex]

[tex]x=139[/tex]

Find the value of y

[tex]y=2(139)=278[/tex]

therefore        

The number of hamburgers sold was 139 and the number of cheeseburgers  sold was 278.
