Raymond buys bottles of water at $2.10 each and a large pizza at $12.99. The total cost was $21.39. How many bottles of water b did he buy? (1 point)

2.10b + 12.99 = 21.39; 4 bottles
2.10 + 12.99b = 21.39; 4 bottles
2.10c = 21.39 + 12.99; 6 bottles
21.39 – 2.10b = 12.99; 16 bottles

No.
6x + 29 = 5
6x = 5 - 29
6x = -24
x = -24/6
x = -4

OK. 9 looks right now. I think I was misreading it before.

Here's the answer.

2.10b + 12.99 = 21.39; 4 bottles
Thanks! They were all right!
You have to watch out for me. I've learned that no matter how I try, I'll make a mistake about 5% of the time.
