A slice of pizza costs $3.19 and a drink costs $x.The cost of a slice of pizza and a drink together is $5.61. Complete and solve the equation that represents the cost of a drink. (1 point)

Question

x + 3.19 =

x =

Answer 1

To represent the cost of a drink, we can complete the equation as follows:

\( x + 3.19 = 5.61 \)

Now, we can solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract \( 3.19 \) from both sides:

\[ x = 5.61 - 3.19 \]

2. Calculate the right side:

\[ x = 2.42 \]

So, the completed equation and the solution for the cost of a drink is:

\( x + 3.19 = 5.61 \)

\( x = 2.42 \)
