Question

Edwin's soccer team has a tradition of going out for pizza after each game. Last week, the team ordered 2 medium pizzas and 4 large pizzas for a total of 56 slices. This week, the team ordered 3 medium pizzas and 3 large pizzas for a total of 54 slices.

Answer 1

The question isn’t specific
Buh I guess we are looking for the amount contained in a medium slice and a large slice
That will be done simultaneously
Represent medium pizzas with x and large pizzas with y
2x+4y=56–eq 1
3x+3y=54—eq 2
Using the elimination method
2x+4y=56–*3—eq 3
3x+3y=54—*2—eq 4
6x+12y=168—eq 5
6x+6y=108—eq 6
Subtract eq6 from eq 5
Resulting answer is
6y=60
Therefore,y=10
Substitution of y=10 into eq 1

2x+4y=56
2x+4(10)=56
2x+40=56
2x=56-40
2x=16
x=8

Medium pizzas contains 8 slices and large pizzas contains 10 slices
