Yuri and Zandy went to a restaurant for breakfast. Yuri ordered 1 biscuit and 2 eggs. Zandy ordered 3 biscuits and 3 eggs. Yuri's bill, before tax, was $3.59. Zandy's bill, before tax, was $7.47. The total costs of their breakfasts are represented by the linear equations below, where b represents the cost of a biscuit and e represents the cost of an egg.

b + 2e = $3.59
3b + 3e = $7.47

How much did one biscuit cost?
