let the two numbers be x and y
From the first sentence,
xy=24
x+y=10
Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1
x+y=10
y=10-x
substituting in equation 2
x(10-x)=24
open the bracket
10x-x^2=24
=-x^2+10x=24
Transfer the constant to the left hand side
=-x^2+10x-24=0
Then factorise completely

So we have 2 variables here: tacos and orders of nachos.
When we translate the paragraphs into equation:
Now, in this situation we can make use the elimination method by converting 3n to -27n.
Add both equations:
So we find that one taco costs $2.75.
We can plug this into any of the first two equations to find n:
So one order of nachos cost $1.40.
