Respuesta :

The equation for Louis's purchase is: [tex]x+y=8[/tex]

The equation for Kate's purchase is: [tex]y+z=9[/tex]

The equation for Biff's purchase is: [tex]x+y+z=13.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to define variables for each item involved in the purchase

Let x represent burger

y represent soda

z be the slice of pizza

Then

"Louis bought a burger and soda for $8"

[tex]x+y=8[/tex]

"Kate purchased a slice of pizza and soda for $9"

[tex]y+z=9[/tex]

"Biff purchased a burger, a slice of pizza and a soda for $13.50"

[tex]x+y+z=13.50[/tex]

The equation for Louis's purchase is: [tex]x+y=8[/tex]

The equation for Kate's purchase is: [tex]y+z=9[/tex]

The equation for Biff's purchase is: [tex]x+y+z=13.50[/tex]
