Hudson owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. He only has enough ingredients to make 90 tacos or burritos.Write an inequality that could represent the possible values for the number of tacos sold, tt, and the number of burritos sold, bb, that would satisfy the constraint.

Answer- b+t=90 (or bb + tt = 90 ignore if this was a mistake)

If we know that 90 is an absolute total, that will go behind the equal sign

?=90;

We know that we can make any mixture of burritos or tacos, but they have to equal up to ninety. As you stated bb= burritos and tt= tacos. (If that is a mistake, instead of putting bb or tt, just put the single letter b or t)

This means our equation would have to have a certain number times burritos and a certain number times tacos that equal 90.

Our equation should look a little like this

(number of burritos ) + (number of tacos) = 90

b + t =90 or with your values bb+tt=90

HOPE THIS HELPS & GOOD LUCK
