A box of candy at the movie theater costs $4.50 and a drink costs $x. The cost of the candy and drink together is $6.75. Complete and solve the equation that represents the cost of the drink.(2 points)
x+$4.50=6.75
x=$___ x= 2.25 right
x=$2.25
To solve the equation, we'll start by subtracting $4.50 from both sides of the equation:
x + $4.50 - $4.50 = $6.75 - $4.50
This simplifies to:
x = $2.25
So, the cost of the drink is $2.25.
To find the cost of the drink, we need to set up an equation and solve for 'x'.
Let's represent the cost of the drink as 'x'.
We know that the cost of the candy is $4.50.
The total cost of the candy and drink together is $6.75.
Therefore, the equation can be set up as:
x + $4.50 = $6.75
To solve for 'x', we need to isolate the variable 'x' on one side of the equation.
First, subtract $4.50 from both sides of the equation:
x + $4.50 - $4.50 = $6.75 - $4.50
This simplifies to:
x = $2.25
So, the cost of the drink is $2.25.
