let x = number of hamburgers sold
2x = number of cheeseburgers sold
x + 2x = 372
3x = 372 

Divide both sides by 3
 
x = 124

124 hamburgers were sold

By using given mathematical equation,

124 hamburgers were sold on Wednesday

What is an equation?

"An equation is a mathematical statement containing an equals sign. Numbers may be represented by unknown variables."

According to the question

Total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold = 372

let us assume

x - number of hamburgers sold

2x - number of cheeseburgers sold

We have

The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold

Converting into mathematical equation

x + 2x = 372

3x = 372

X = [tex]\frac{372}{3}[/tex]

x = 124

Hence, using given mathematical equation, 124 hamburgers were sold on Wednesday
