Let’s take x as the price of a taco and y as the price of a serving of nachos.
22x + 17y = 71.05. First order
10x + 5y = 27.25. Second order
Multiply the first order by 5 and the second order by 11
110x + 85y = 355.25
110x + 55y = 299.75
Subtract
30y = 55.5
y = 1.85
So 10x + 5x1.85 = 27.25
10x = 27.25 - 9.25 = 18
x = 1.8
So each taco cost $1.80 and an order of nachos cost $1.85
Check out the graph below. We see that (3,0) is a root or x intercept. More specifically, the graph only touches the x axis at this point, rather than cross over (in contrast to a root like (-2,0) ). We say that the root here is of multiplicity 2. The multiplicity is due to the exponent of 2 over the (x-3) factor.
You can also say that the graph is decreasing on the left side of (3,0) and then it bounces off the root x = 3 to increase afterward. In this region, the graph never goes below the x axis.
