Answer:

x + 12

Explanation:

The total cost of the meal they shared is represented by 2x + 24.

Two friends bought a $24 dinner to split.

Each person also bought a drink.

Let us represent the cost of the drink per person = x

Hence:

The expression that represents the cost of the meal for one person is given as:

(2x + 24)/2

= 2x/2 + 24/2

= x + 12
