8) Jalyn purchased three different sized drinks. The large was twice as much

as the medium drink. The MEGA drink was $10 more than the large. Jalyn
spent a total of $45 on drinks! Write and solve an equation to determine the

Answer:MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST

MEGA Drink = $10+2x

LARGE Drink = 2x

MEDIUM Drink = x

hence, we conclude that

($10+2x) + 2x + x = $45

$10+2x + 2x + x =$ 45

5x + $10 = $45

5x = $45-$10

5x = $35

x = 35÷5

x = 7

MEGA DRINK = (10+2X)

10+2×7

10+14

24

LARGE DRINK = 2X

2×7 = 14

MEDIUM DRINK = X

7
