(SHOW WORK)

Answer 1

4 toppings

Explanation:

13.90=1.35x+8.50

x represents the number of toppings.

1. First subtract 8.50 from both sides.

`13.90=1.35x+8.50\\-8.50= -8.50\\`

2. Now you are left with 5.40=1.35x. Divide 1.35 from both sides.

`(5.40)/(1.35) =(1.35x)/(1.35)`

3. Simplify

x=4

There are 4 toppings on the pizza for it to cost $13.90.
