To solve the system of equations, we can use substitution or elimination method.
Using substitution:
Since we have y = -1.3x + 48 from the first equation, we can substitute this into the second equation:
-1.3x + 48 = -x + 39
0.3x = 9
x = 30
Now substitute this x value into any of the equations to find y:
y = -1.3(30) + 48
y = 9
Therefore, the truck sells 30 beef tacos and 9 vegetable tacos on Sunday.
A taco truck sells y vegetable tacos for $2.50 each and x beef tacos for $3.25 each. On Sunday, the truck earm $120.00 and sells a total of 39 tacos. The situation can be represented by the system of equations and graph shown.
y = -1.3x + 48
y=-x+39
