x =

Answer 1

To represent the total cost of a slice of pizza and a drink, you can write the equation:

\[ x + 3.19 = 5.61 \]

Now, let's solve for \(x\):

1. Subtract \(3.19\) from both sides of the equation:

\[ x = 5.61 - 3.19 \]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[ x = 2.42 \]

So, the cost of the drink is:

\[ x = 2.42 \]
