_____

It can help to keep in mind what the square of a binomial looks like:

  (x -a)² = x² -2ax +a²

The coefficient of x is -2a. The constant is the square of half that (-2a/2)² = a².

Matt and Mark went to El Rodeo to have some dinner. Matt ordered 3 tacos and 2 enchiladas, which cost him $4.93. Mark ordered 2
lord [1]

Answer:

The cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of tacos be X

and cost of enchiladas be y

So, by using given data, we have following equations

3X + 2Y = 4.93             (1)

2X + 4Y = 6.38             (2)

So, first multiply 1st equation by 2 and 2nd equation by 3, then subtracting 1st equation by 2nd.

= 2 × ( 3X + 2Y = 4.93)       (1)

= 3 × (2X + 4Y = 6.38)        (2)

= - (6X + 4Y = 9.86)              (1)

= 6X + 12y = 19.14            (2)

= 8Y = 9.28

Y = 9.28 ÷ 8 = 1.16

By putting the value of Y in equation 1, we get

3X + 2(1.16) = 4.93

3X + 2.32 = 4.93

X = 2.61 ÷ 3 = 0.87

Hence, the cost of one taco is $0.87 and the cost of one enchilada is $1.16.
