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 is it x+3.19=. And x = what?
To represent the cost of a drink, you can set up the equation as follows:
Drink cost + Pizza cost = Total cost
x + 3.19 = 5.61
Now, you can solve the equation for x:
x + 3.19 = 5.61
x = 5.61 - 3.19
x = 2.42
Therefore, the cost of a drink is $2.42.
