You eat 3 taco salads and drink 2 glasses of iced tea your friend eats 1 taco salad and drinks 1 glass of iced tea the place charges you 16 and your friend 6.50 what is the price of each item
----
3s + 2t = 16
s + t = 6.50
----------------------
3s + 2t = 16
2s + 2t = 13
---------------------
Subtract and solve for "s":
s = $3 (cost of a taco sasad)
t = 6.5-3 = $3.50 (cost of one ice tea)
