Answer:

cost of a taco: $1.25

cost of a burrito: $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a taco be $t and the cost of a burrito be $b.

t +3b= 8.75 -----(1)

4t +2b= 10

Divide both sides by 2:

2t +b= 5

Making b the subject of formula:

b= 5 -2t -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

t +3(5 -2t)= 8.75

Expand:

t +3(5) +3(-2t)= 8.75

t +15 -6t= 8.75

t -6t= 8.75 -15

-5t= -6.25

t= -6.25 ÷(-5)

t= 1.25

Substitute t= 1.25 into (2):

b= 5 -2(1.25)

b= 5 -2.5

b= 2.50

Thus, the cost of a taco is $1.25 and the cost of a burrito is $2.50.

How to solve X - 1v+ 4 + 7y - 3
Nostrana [21]
The first step to solving this is to remember our mathematical rules. They state that when the term has a coefficient of -1,, the number doesn't have to be written but the sign needs to remain. This will change the expression to the following:
x - v + 4 + 7y - 3
Now subtract the numbers 4 and 3 from each other.
x - v + 1 + 7y 
Since this expression cannot be simplified any further,, the correct answer to your question would be x - v + 1 + 7y.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Cant figure it out. Help please!

For question 3, you needn't worry about the number of total students asked. The question is really just asking you what's 45% as a fraction, which is 9/20. This is because 45% = 45/100, divided by 5 = 9/20. For question 6, just substitute in the values. So you do 4(7 × 4 - 3 × -7), which gives you 4(28 - -21). Two minuses make a plus, so it's just asking you to do 4 × 49 (because 28 + 21 = 49). The answer is 196.
