Let

m-------> the cost of one meals in dollars

we know that

[tex]2m+4=16[/tex] ------> equation A

Solve for m

Subtract [tex]4[/tex] both sides

[tex]2m+4-4=16-4[/tex]

[tex]2m=12[/tex]

Divide by [tex]2[/tex] both sides

[tex]m=12/2=\$6[/tex]

the cost of each meal is [tex]\$6[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

The equation that could be used to represent this situation is

[tex]2m+4=16[/tex]
