In order to solve this equation you could use guess and check with multiple choice, or you can set up a system of equations.
First we must define our variables:
x=price of taco
y=price of burrito
Michael bought 4 tacos (4x) and (+) and Burrito (y) for $9.50 (=9.5)
4x+y=9.50
Noah bought two tacos (2x) and (+) three burritos (3y) for (=) $11 (11)
2x+3y=11
To solve this system of equations you can easily see substitution as the easiest method. For substitution we must isolate one variable:
4x+y=9.50
y=-4x+9.5
We can now replace the y in the other equation:
2x+3(-4x+9.5)=11
Then solve this equation to get the price of a taco (x)
2x-12x+28.5=11
-10x=-17.5
x=1.75
The price of a taco would be $1.75
5x+3y=-9
-2x+y=8
The first step is the trickery (and quite frankly, hardest to explain) part. You need to multiply one equation by a number that will create one variable to be the negative version of the other...(Confusing, right? Don't worry, I'll show you)
We are going to solve for X first.
We will multiply the second equation by -3
5x+3y=-9
-3(-2x+y)=(-3)8
Now simplify:
5x+3y= -9
6x-3y= -24
Now combine the two equations (add them together)
11x= -33
Divide by 11
X=-3
Now plug X in to one of the first equations:
5(-3)+3y= -9
-15+3y =-9
3Y= 6
Y= 2
So your final answer is:
x= -3
Y= 2
Hope this helps!
