Anna has to say y= 4x + 1z in order to get the answer. She didn't realize that she has to put a variable next to both.

the correct answer should be y=4x + 1d where x equals the number of personal pizzas, and d equals the number of drinks.

She didn't account for the number of drinks ordered for more than one meal.
