Answer:

AED 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let tacos: t

Let burritos: b

1) Set up equations.

2t + 3b = 18

4t + 2b = 20

2) Solve the system of equations using substitution.

2t = 18 - 3b

t = 18/2 - 3b/2

t = 9 - 3b/2

Substitute this into the second equation and simplify.

4(9 - 3b/2) + 2b = 20

36 - 12b/2 + 2b = 20

36 - 6b + 2b = 20

36 - 4b = 20

-4b = 20 - 36

-4b = -16

b = -16/-4

b = 4

3) Substitute the found answer in any one of the two equations.

2t + 3(4) = 18

2t + 12 = 18

2t = 18 - 12

2t = 6

t = 6/2

t = 3

Therefore, a soft taco costs AED 3.
