x price of burrito 0.06
\n" ); document.write( " y price of taco 0.17
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "5.00 x + 2.00 y = 19.50
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2.00 x + 5.00 y = 22.50 .............2
\n" ); document.write( "Eliminate y
\n" ); document.write( "multiply (1)by -5.00
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply (2) by 2.00
\n" ); document.write( "-25.00 x -10.00 y = -97.50
\n" ); document.write( "4.00 x 10.00 y = 45.00
\n" ); document.write( "Add the two equations
\n" ); document.write( "-21.00 x = -52.50
\n" ); document.write( "/ -21.00
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.50
\n" ); document.write( "plug value of x in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "5.00 x + 2.00 y = 19.50
\n" ); document.write( "12.50 + 2.00 y = 19.50
\n" ); document.write( " 2.00 y = 7.00
\n" ); document.write( " y = 3.50
\n" ); document.write( "Ans x = 2.50
\n" ); document.write( " y = 3.50
\n" ); document.write( " 2.50 price of burrito
\n" ); document.write( " 3.50 price of taco
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
