Answer:

123 soda and 87 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = # soda and h = # hot dogs

s +  h = 210         s = h + 36  Substitute the h + 36 for s into the first equation

s + h = 210

(h + 36) + h = 210  

h + 36 + h = 210  Combine the h's

2h + 36 = 210  Subtract 36 from both sides

2h = 174  Divide both sides by 2

h = 87  This is the number of hot dogs.  Substitute this into either equation above to find the sodas.        

s + h = 210

s + 87 = 210

s = 123  

OR

s = h + 36

s = 87 + 36

s = 123
