zoe often orders party trays from her favorite mexican food restaurant for company events. for a recent company party, she spent $239 on 4 burrito platters and 5 taco platters. for a company meeting, she spent $208 on 3 burrito platters and 5 taco platters. how much does each type of platter cost?
each burrito platter costs $ and each taco platter costs $ .

Each burrito platter costs $_31__ and each taco platter costs $_23__ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a burrito platter be x and the cost of a taco platter be y;

4 burrito platters and 5 taco platters would cost;

4x  + 5y = 239

3 burrito platters and 5 taco platters would cost;

3x + 5y = 208

We can solve the two equations simultaneously via elimination method. We subtract the two equations in order to eliminate y and solve for x;

4x - 3x = 239 - 208

x = 31

Using the first equation, substitute x = 31 and solve for y;

4(31) + 5y = 239

124 + 5y = 239

5y = 115

y = 23

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
