Final answer:

To answer the student's Mathematics question about the number of medium pizzas sold, we set up a linear equation but require the prices of large and medium pizzas to solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking a question related to Mathematics, specifically it's a word problem that involves linear equations.

To solve the question, we need some additional information such as the price of large and medium pizzas which is not provided in the question. However, we can demonstrate how to set up the problem:

  • Let's say the price of a large pizza is L dollars.
  • The price of a medium pizza is M dollars.
  • The total revenue from 5 large pizzas is therefore 5L dollars.
  • The number of medium pizzas sold is X.
  • Total revenue from medium pizzas is MX dollars.
  • The total revenue from both sizes is 5L + MX = 291.

To find out how many medium pizzas were sold, we need the specific values of L and M to solve the equation 5L + MX = 291 for X.
