This topic focuses on advanced algebra concepts involving complex substitutions and forming compound answers in the form of equations related to meal pricing scenarios. It is designed to deepen understanding through the interpretation of applied algebra in everyday contexts. Each question presents a practical problem where learners need to find the correct algebraic expression that models the situation provided, specifically involving multiple variables and equations. The approach not only tests the ability to solve equations but also improves skills in setting up equations from word problems.
