The total cost of one appetizer and four meals is $89. The price of the appetizer is $9 and each meal is the same price as m. What is the price of one meal? M = ?

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an appetizer = 9

The cost of a meal = m

The cost of an appetizer and 4 meals = 9 + 4(m) = 89

4m +9 = 89         Your equation, solve for m

4m - 9 + 9 = 89 - 9    Bring the constants to one side

4m = 80               Simplification

4m/4 = 80/4         isolating the variable

m= 20                  Your answer!!!

A meal costs 20 dollars

I hope this helps!!!

If you wanted to check the answer...

Do the same thing but substitute for m

4 (20) + 9 = 89

80 + 9 = 89

89 = 89

The answer should be correct

Have a nice day!!!
