Answer:

Part (A): The required equation will be:
6d+20b=150

Part (B):The required equation will be:
d=(150-20b)/(6)

Part (C):The required equation will be:
b=(150-6d)/(20)

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let d represents number of packages of hot dogs and b represents the number of packages of hamburgers.

Part (a)

It is given that the cost of a package of hot dogs is $6 and cost of a package of hamburger is $20.

The required equation will be:
6d+20b=150

Part (b) Solve the above equation for d.

Subtract 20b from both sides.


6d=150-20b

Divide 6 from both sides.


d=(150-20b)/(6)

The required equation will be:
d=(150-20b)/(6)

Part (c) Solve the equation for b.

Subtract 6d from both sides.


20b=150-6d

Divide 20 from both sides, we get


b=(150-6d)/(20)

The required equation will be:
b=(150-6d)/(20)
