Answer:

Number of dogs = 6

Number of burgers = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of dogs = x

Number of burgers = 2x - 1

Cost of a dog = $ 1.50

Cost of 'x' dogs = 1.5x

Cost of a burger = $ 2

Cost of (2x - 1) burger = (2x -1) * 2 = 2x *2 - 1*2

                                    = 4x - 2

Total amount collected  = $ 31

1.5x + 4x - 2 = 31 {add 2 to both sides}

        1.5x + 4x = 31 + 2

      1.5x+ 4x  = 33

               5.5x = 33

                    x = 33/5.5

                   x = 6

Number of dogs  = 6

Number of burgers = 2*6 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
