Answer 1

Answer:

180 tacos and 100 burritos was sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent tacos

Let b represent burritos

t + b = 280

2t + 3b = 660

From t + b = 280,

t = 280 - b

Substitute t = 280 - b in 2t + 3b = 660

2t + 3b = 660

2(280 - b) + 3b = 660

560 - 2b + 3b = 660

560 + b = 660

b = 660 - 560

b = 100

Substitute b = 100 in t + b = 280

t + b = 280

t + 100 = 280

t = 280 - 100

t = 180

t = tacos = 180

b = burritos = 100
