Answer: The answer is C ( 4x + 3 = 39 )
Step-by-step explanation:
4 = number of Pizzas. x = price of pizza. 3 = price of chips. 39 = total of 4 pizzas and chips together.
1) 4x + 3 = 39
2) 4x = 39 - 3
You will seperate the variable(4x) and the constants(3 and 9) So, you move (+3) to the other side making it negative. Then, you subtract (39-3) which will equal to (36)
4) 4x = 36
5) x = 36/4
You want to move the coefficient(4) to the other side. Thus, will make it a division becaue the oppisite of multiplication is division. So you cancel it out from x because 4/4 is 1.
6) x = 9
You divided 36/4 which will equal to 9
7) 4(9) + 3 = 39
