Respuesta :

Answer:

85 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

Total sold was 127

The number of sodas was 43 + the number of hotdogs

Let x represent hotdogs:

x + (43 + x) = 127                (The 43 + x is the number of sodas sold.)

2x + 43 = 127

2x = 84

x = 42

42 hotdogs were sold., Since sodas are 42 + 43, 85 sodas were sold
