Given that the Dial and the Lewis families when to Taco Box for dinner, and the Dials bought 3 burrito meals and 4 taco meals for $ 48, while the Lewis' bought 6 burrito meals and 2 taco meals for $ 60, to determine how much does a burrito meal cost and how much does a taco meal cost make the following calculations:
3B + 4T = 48
3B = 48 - 4T
6B + 2T = 60
6B = 60 - 2T
3B = 30 - 1T
30 - 1T = 48 - 4T
30 = 48 - 4T + 1T
30 - 48 = -3T
-18 = -3T
-6 = -T
6 = T
3B + 4x6 = 48
3B + 24 = 48
3B = 24
B = 24/8
B = 8
6x8 + 2x6 = 60
48 + 12 = 60
60 = 60
Thus, a burrito costs $ 8, while a taco costs $ 6.
