You and a friend eat tacos. You order 2 tacos and 5 burritos which equals $19. Your friend orders 1 taco and 4 burritos which equals $14. Find the cost of a taco and a burrito.

Question

Please help

Answer 1

2t + 5b = 19

1t + 4b = 14
or t = 14 - 4b

2t + 5b = 19

2(14-4b) + 5b = 19

28 - 8b +5b = 19

can you finish from here?

Once you get b... substitute that answer into one of the equations to find t.

Answer 2
