Answer:

The regular costs 11 dollars each while the deluxe cost 23 each.

Explanation:

You need to setup two equations.I used two variable for the prices of the types of pizzas because they are unknown.I used x for the cost of regular and y for the cost of deluxe.The equation I did are 10x+y=133 and 7x+9y=284.You need to solve one equation only.I solved the first one.
