Winston pays $8 for a burger, an order of fries, and a soft drink. Tia buys 2 burgers and a soft drink for $10.50. George buys 2 orders of fries, a burger, and 2 soft drinks for $12. Let x, y, and z represent the cost of a burger, an order of fries, and a soft drink, respectively.

Set out the equations first. We will worry about the matrix form later.

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

If you can't do that, write down what they ordered first.

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

Winston: x+y+z Tia: 2x + z George: x + 2y + 2z ?

OpenStudy (thomas5267):

How about the costs of their orders?

OpenStudy (love_to_love_you):

Winston: x+y+z = 8 Tia: 2x + z = 10.50 George: x + 2y + 2z = 12
