Hello, My name is Emma and me and my friends are going out for pizza tonight.
I would love to go with you guys to pizza tonight but how much are we going to have to pay for the food?
well let's set up an equation
I can help with that. Since we have 4 people we start the equation 4p. p standing for people. If we share a extra large pizza it will cost $37. and we will have 3 dollars in tax.
So our equation is 4p - 3 = 37
the first step is to add 3 to each side.4p - 3 =37+3 +3 4p = 40
