Answer:
In 4 months Wyatt offer an equal number of sandwiches and tacos.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Types of sandwiches = 8
Rate of increase of sandwich = 1 per month
Thus, number of sandwiches in x months will be given by
Types of tacos = 4
Rate of increase of tacos sandwich = 2 per month
Thus, number of tacos in x months will be given by
Equating the two equations, we get,
Thus, in 4 months Wyatt offer an equal number of sandwiches and tacos.
There are many ways to solve simultaneous linear equations. One of my favorite for finding integer solutions is graphing. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...
... (x, y) = (4, 7)
_____
You can also use Cramer's Rule, or the Vedic math variation of it, which tells you the solution to
is given by
Here, that means
... x = (9·67-5·75)/(9·8-5·3) = 228/57 = 4
... y = (75·8-67·3)/57 = 399/57 = 7
_____
A (graphing) calculator greatly facilitates either of these approaches.
