Answer:

  • Quesadilla - $4.75
  • Burritos - $7.50

Explanation:

  • Quesadilla - x
  • Burritos - y

Equations:

  • 2x + 3y = 32
  • 4x + 2y = 34

Double the first equation and subtract the second one:

  • 4x + 6y - 4x - 2y = 64 - 34
  • 4y = 30
  • y = 30/4
  • y = 7.5

Find x using the second equation:

  • 4x + 2(7.5) = 34
  • 4x + 15 = 34
  • 4x = 19
  • x = 19/4
  • x = 4.75
