Answer:Kenya bought 35 deluxe taco and 15 vegetarian taco

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of deluxe taco that Kenya bought.

Let y represent the number of vegetarian taco that Kenya bought.

Kenya orders a total of 50 tacos. This means that

x + y = 50

The deluxe taco cost 2.95. The vegetarian taco cost 2.25. The total price before tax is 137. This means that

2.95x + 2.25y = 137 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.95(50 - y) + 2.25y = 137

147.5 - 2.95y + 2.25y = 137

- 2.95y + 2.25y = 137 - 147.5

- 0.7y = - 10.5

y = -10.5/-0.7

y = 15

Substituting y = 15 into x = 50 - y, it becomes

x = 50 - 15

x = 35

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well... this is a typical question about system of equation ...

You have to find two equations to build the system and then, choose the best method for you.

First of all, let’s call deluxe taco as x and veg taco as y.

Kenya orders 50 tacos:

X+y=50 (this is our 1st eq.)

The second one will be just like that:

“X cost 2.95 and y cost 2.25. The total price before the tax is 137”

2.95 . X + 2.25 . Y = 137

Building the system:

X+y=50

2.95x + 2.25y = 137

Well... for this system, I prefer to choose the substituition method

On the first equation, I rewrite just like that X=50-y

On the second equation:

2.95 (50-y) + 2.25y = 137

147.5 - 2.95y + 2.25y = 137

-0.7y = -10.5

Y = 15

X+y=50

X+15=50

X=35

The translation rule that maps point D ( 7 , − 3 ) onto point D ' ( 2 , 5 )

is (x , y) → (x - 5 , y + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the translation

  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units  then its image is (x + h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units  then its image is (x - h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units  then its image is (x , y + k)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units  then its image is (x , y - k)

(x , y) → (x ± h , y ± k) the right arrow symbol used to show the

translation from a point to its image

Example:

∵ P (0 , 0) → P' (1 , 2)

∴ The rule is (x , y) → (x + 1 , y + 2)

Let us find the translation rule that maps point D ( 7 , − 3 ) onto

point D' (2 , 5)

∵ Point (x , y) = (7 , -3)

∵ Its image after translation (x + h , y + k) = (2 , 5)

∴ x + h = 2

∵ x = 7

∴ 7 + h = 2

- Subtract 7 from both sides

∴ h = -5

∵ y + k = 5

∵ y = -3

∴ -3 + k = 5

- Add 3 to both sides

∴ k = 8

∴ The rule of translation is (x , y) → (x - 5 , y + 8)

The translation rule that maps point D ( 7 , − 3 ) onto point D ' ( 2 , 5 )

is (x , y) → (x - 5 , y + 8)
