C.X=9

Explanation:

Answer 2

Each pizza costs for $9.

Explanation:

We are given that Mr. Mori bought four equally-priced pizzas and a $3 bag of potato chips.

Given that he spent a total $39, we are to find the cost of each pizza.

This can be represented by an equation:

`4x+3=39`

Solving it to find x.

`4x=39-3`

`4x=36`

`x=(36)/(4)`

x = 9

Therefore, the cost of each pizza is $9.
