Answer 1

Variable: x

Equation: 1.5x +7 = 11.50

Solution: x= 3 S={3}

1) Gathering the data:

Cheese pizza: $7

Topping: 1.50x

Cost for Megan: 11.50

1.5x +7 =11.50

2) Solving the equation:

1.5x +7=11.50 subtracting 7 from both sides

1.5x = 11.50-7

1.5x =4.5 Dividing it by 3

x=3

Megan is going to be able to buy 3 toppings for her pizza order.

3)

Variable: x

Equation: 1.5x +7 = 11.50

Solution: x= 3 S={3}
