Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
To start solving this, you want to solve an equation for y. I chose 3x - 7y = 4 for later purposes. Subtract 3x from both sides and divide by -7 to get y = 4 - 3x / -7. Now because we have a value for y in terms of x, plug this into the other equation, x + 7y = 16. It now should look like this: x + 7(4 - 3x / -7) = 16. Now just distribute the 7 and simplify the denominator to get x+ (-4+3x)=16. This can now be 4x +4 = 16, starting to look familiar now. Lastly subtract the 4 from both sides and divide by 4 to get x = 5. Hope this helps!

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
(2x + 2) - 
(3x - 1) = 15
multiply through by 4 ( the LCM of 2 and 4 ) to clear the fractions
2(2x + 2) - (3x - 1) = 60 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side
4x + 4 - 3x + 1 = 60
x + 5 = 60 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
x = 55
I got 11 Mexican and 16 American.
20 x 11 = 220
15 x 16 = 240
Which equals 460
