Given:Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes
2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Solutions: 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality)
The cost of a single taco is $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure I understood your question completely but I hope this helps.
You should look to units of measure when setting up problems. when math is done correctly, the units cancel out just as numbers and variables do.
(miles / hr) * hr = miles
Speed = (miles / hr)
So if the Train W is traveling at x miles/hr
Then Train E is traveling (x+14) miles/hr
The combined distance they two trains travel is 320 miles
2x + 2(x+14) = 320
2x + 2x + 28 = 320
4x + 28 = 320
4x = 292
x = 292/4
x = 73 miles/hr
remember we set x as the speed for Train W
so Train E is going 73 + 14 = 87 miles/hr
I believe the total dimensions will be 1135.
