You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x, price for taco
y, price for burrito

YOU:
2x%2B5y=29

FRIEND:
2x%2B4y=22

handled purely mentally, y=7.--------------------------------------Thinking very carefully about this result, something is wrong in the problem's description.

Think how the actual data compare. The only difference is 1 burrito and 7 dollars. This just cannot make any sense.
