The Hernandez family bought 3 large pizzas and cut them into equal slices.
The total number of slices they got was 24.
Therefore, each pizza was cut into 8 slices.
On the other hand, the Wilson family ordered several large pizzas.
They also cut the pizzas so that each pizza had the same number of slices.
The relationship between the number of pizzas and the total number of slices is given by y = 10x, where x is the number of pizzas and y is the total number of slices.
This means that each pizza was cut into 10 slices.
The Hernandez family got a total of 24 slices, while the Wilson family's total number of slices depends on the number of pizzas they ordered.
The pizzas bought by both families were large, and they both cut their pizzas into equal slices.
