$1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
This would be solved using a simultaneous equation
let tacos = t
drink = d
3t + d = 7 -- eqn 1
2t + 2d = 8 -- eqn 2
Multiply equation 1 by 2 to derive equation 3
6t + 2d = 14 eqn 3
Substract equation 2 from equation 3
6t + 2d = 14 -- eqn 3
-
2t + 2d = 8 -- eqn 2
= 4t = 6
solve for t
6/4 = 1.5
= $1.5
