menu. when the checks come, you find that your server
has written all the orders as equations such as
"c + f + 2s = 6.70," using the first letter of each menu
item as the variable. use the menu to write an equation
to challenge a classmate, letting x represent the price of
an unknown item. (x + t= 3.45. what's x? ) you can use
coefficients, fractions, decimals, percents, the distributive
property, verbal descriptions, and all of the elements of
writing and solving equations that you've learned.
