At a particular restaurant, each slider has 350 calories and each onion ring has 70 calories. A combination meal with onion rings and sliders is shown to have 1400 total calories and 8 more onion rings than sliders. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of sliders in the combination meal, x, and the number of onion rings in the combination meal, y.

please help

Answer:

y = 8 + x

350x + 70y = 1,400----->5x + y = 20

5x + 8 + x = 20

6x + 8 = 20

6x = 12

x = 2, y = 10

2 sliders, 10 onion rings
