Hey - I need the graph to be able to help you. If you're on a computer, and it's a PC, you can use the snipping tool found in the start menu. Snip the graphs, then copy and paste them into a new question. If you're on a mac, command+shift+4 will get you a screenshot. Screenshot the graphs, go to finder, go to desktop, find your screenshot, then copy and paste it into a new question. :)

Sorry I can't help but I need the graph. :)

Let's begin by assigning a letter to represent our unknown: x = # of toppings to be added to each pizza Now let's come up with expressions for the cost of each pizza with its toppings: Palanxio's Pizza: 6.80 + 0.90x Guido's Pizza: 7.30 + 0.65x Now let's equate the costs of both pizzas and solve for our unknown (x): 6.80 + 0.90x = 7.30 + 0.65x 0.90x - 0.65x = 7.30 - 6.80 0.25x = 0.50 x = 0.50/0.25 x = 2 toppings to be added to each pizza Finally, we can verify our answer by plugging it back into our equation and see if both costs are the same: 6.80 + 0.90x = 7.30 + 0.65x [equation] 6.80 + 0.90(2) = 7.30 + 0.65(2) [answer plug-in] 6.80 + 1.80 = 7.30 + 1.30 $8.60 = $8.60 [both costs are the same] Since both costs are the same, we are confident that our answer is correct.
