    Tamira and her 3 friends spent a total of $37 for a large pizza and 4 sodas. Each soda cost $2. Which equation can be used to find p, the cost of the pizza?

    We add the cost of the pizza (p) to the 4 sodas @ $2 each to get 37
    p + 4(2) = 37
    p + 8 = 37 (This is the equation)

    If the problem asks you to solve for p, then we type the equation above into our search engine and we get:
    p = 29
