Express the situation given in this word problem as an equation:

I bought tacos and chips for lunch. Tacos are $3 each, and drinks are $2 each. I spent $20 on lunch.  Let x represent the number of tacos I bought, and let y represent the number of drinks I bought.

3x + 2y = 20

Solve using the substitution method. Your answer must be in the correct form.

y = -x - 3

y = x + 1

(-2, -1)

Solve using the elimination method. Your answer must be in the correct form.

x - 2y = 5

x + 2y = 1

(3, -1)

I bought tacos and chips for lunch. Tacos are $3 each, and drinks are $2 each. I spent $20 on lunch.  Let x represent the number of tacos I bought, and let y represent the number of drinks I bought.

Is it possible for me to have ordered 3 tacos? If so, how many drinks did I order?

No, it's not possible.

The equation is 3x + 2y = 20.

If x = 3, then y = 5.5. It's impossible to order a half a drink, because I can only order in whole numbers.

Express the situation given in this word problem as a system of inequalities:

Sam has $50 to spend on clothes, but he doesn't want to spend all of it. He needs to come home with one outfit (a shirt and pants) no matter what. He can buy shirts for $10 each, or pants for $14 each. Let x represent the number of shirts he can buy, and let y represent the number of pants he can buy.

10x + 14y < 50

x > or equal to 1

y > or equal to 1
