Help to answer 2 & 3 Pablo and Jasmine had just started studying systems of linear equations in algebra. They looked at Pedro's drawing and said, "We could write that as a system of equations." Let t be the price of each taco and d be the price of each drink. - Write an equation that represents the cost of Pablo's order. (6T + 2D = 9) - Write an equation that represents the cost of Jasmine's order. (4T + 2D = 7) 2. What operations with the equations from part (1) match your way of using Pedro's sketch to find the prices t and d? 3. Why do the operations make sense?

Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for Pablo's order is given as 6T+2D=9 or 6T+2D-9=0

While the equation for Jasmine's order is given as 4T+2D=7 or 4T+2D-7=0

Subtracting Jasmine's equation from Pablo's

6T+2D-9-(4T+2D-7)=0

This gives us

6T+2D-9-4T-2D+7=0

The reduces to

2T-2=0

Dividing all through by 2 gives

T-1=0

Therefore

T=1

Substituting the value for T into any of the equations of either Pablo and Jasmine

Using Pablo's

6T+2D=9

6(1)+2D=9

2D=9-6

2D=3

There D= 3/2
