A slice of pizza cost 3.19 and a drink cost $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

Question

x+3.19=_
x=_

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can set up the equation:

x + 3.19 = 5.61

Now, subtract 3.19 from both sides of the equation to isolate x:

x + 3.19 - 3.19 = 5.61 - 3.19

This simplifies to:

x = 2.42

Therefore, the cost of the drink is $2.42.
