Answer:
x + y + z = 49
2.50x + 7y + 1.50z = 147
y + 7 = z
Explanation:
Before you even start setting up the equations, create variables for information needed, but not given in the problem:
Variable x = number of tacos
Variable y = number of burritos
Variable z = number of sodas
The first piece of information we are given is the number of items so make this into an equation:
x + y + z = 49
Next we are told how much everything cost in total so make this into an equation:
2.50x + 7y + 1.50z = 147
Lastly, we are informed Rosa bought 7 more sodas than burritos so form an equation using this information:
y + 7 = z
