John and 4 friends are going out for pizza for lunch . They split one pizza and 5 large drinks. The pizza cost $10.00. After using a $4.00 gift certificate, they spend a total of $13.50. Write an equation to model the situation, and find the cost of one large drink.

The cost of one large drink is $1.50.

(13.5-10) + 4 = (7.5 ÷ 5) = $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to minus the $10.00 from the $13.50, which gives us $3.50.

13.5 - 10

We've done this because the pizza is irrelevant to what we're trying to figure out, so we subtract the price of the food, which as we already know is $10, to isolate the price of the 5 drinks to make it easier to find the price of just one.

Once we've done that, we're going to add on the $4.00 they got discounted to the $3.50 in order to find the original price of the drinks without using the gift certificate.

(13.5 - 10) + 4

This gives us $7.50, or the price of 5 large drinks. But we're only looking for the price of one. So we're going to divide the 7.50 by the total number of drinks ordered.

(13.5-10) + 4 = (7.5 ÷ 5)

This gives us 1.5, or $1.50.

(13.5-10) + 4 = (7.5 ÷ 5) = $1.50

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
