The answer to your question is   $25.92 = $2.57 + 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Total payment = $25.92

Payment for eggs = $2.57

5 bags of potatoes

Process

1.- Assign letters to each variable

cost of Eggs = e

cost of Potatoes = p or x

2.- Write an equation

              Total cost = Price of eggs(e) + Price of Potatoes (p)

- Substitution

                     $25.92 = $2.57 + 5p

or

                     $25.92 = $2.57 + 5x
