Answer:

2 pizzas

Explanation:

If there were 5 pizzas to begin with and only 2 out of that 5 were eaten, then that means they ate 2

0 0 0 0 0 pizzas started with

_ _ pizzas ate

0 0 0 pizzas left with

So if there were 3 pizzas left with, then you can subtract 3 from 5 to see how many are gone or eaten.

Hope this Helps!!!
