Let T = cost of a taco
Let S = cost of a salad
(2 tacos + 1 salad) + (8 % of 2 tacos and 1 salad) + 3 = 13.80
2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .08(2T + 2.5) + 3 = 13.80
2T + 2.5 + .16T + .20 + 3 = 13.80
2.16T + 5.7 = 13.80
2.16T = 8.10
T = 8.10/2.16 = $3.75
Check: 2T + S + .08(2T + S) + 3 = 13.80
2(3.75) + 2.50 + .08(2(3.75)+2.5) + 3 = 13.80
7.5 + 2.5 + .08(10) + 3 = 13.8
13.80 = 13.80
Answer checks as correct
Answer: 10 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Covert 30 feet into yards to find how many yards he should buy.
Solve by cross product
3x = 30
x = 10
So really all you have to do is simply the expressions on top to match them.
Starting with (4t-8/5)-(3-4/3t), distribute the negative sign to the right portion in parentheses, then distribute it all out and you will get 16/3t- 23/5
Basically, use distribution to simplify, here's all the matches:
(4t-8/5)-(3-4/3t) --> 16/3t- 23/5
5(2t+1)+(-7t+28) --> 3t+33
(-9/2t+3)+(7/4t+33) --> -11/4t+36
3(3t-4)-(2t+10) --> 7t-22
5+4+2(-3)+7+(-5)
or
5+4+2-3+7+(-5)?
