HELP PLEASE
Dory and Nemo go to Taco Bell for lunch. Dory orders three soft tacos and three double deckers for $11.25. Nemo pays $10.00 for four soft tacos and two Double Deckers. Write a system of equations that represents the lunch orders for Dory and Nemo. Use x to represent soft tacos and y to represent Double Deckers.


Sagot :

x = soft tacos
y = double deckers

Dory:
3x + 3y = 11.25 

Nemo:
4x + 2y = 10.00

---Now to solve for x and y---
---We find LCM of either x or y then make them cancel each other---
Dory multiply by 2:
6x + 6y = 22.50

Nemo multiply by 3:
12x + 6y = 30.00

--eliminate y--- 
Nemo subtract Dory:
6x = 7.50
Therefore x = 7.50 ÷ 6 = 1.25
---Now substitute x = 1.25 in either equation.---

Dory:
3.75 + 3y = 11.25
Therefore 3y = 11.25 - 3.75
therefore 3y = 7.50
there fore y = 2.50

y = 2.50 , x = 1.25

Sorry, that this is so long, I hope you understand. This is called simultaneous equations, you can read up on it.

Answer:

Dory: 3x+3y=11.25

Nemo: 4x+2y=10.00
