Question

Big brutus pizza had two deals on pizza the first was $6 for a cheese pizza plus $3 for each topping the second deal was $20 per cheese pizza and 1 dollar per topping wat is the x and y

Answer 1

`x = 7` --- toppings

`y = 27` ---- amount

Explanation:

Given

`y \to\ amount`

`x \to\ topping`

The first deal is:

`y = 6 + 3x`

The second is:

`y = 20 + x`

Required

The value of x and y [for which both deals are equal]

We have:

`y = 6 + 3x`

`y = 20 + x`

Equate both

`y=y`

So, we have:

`6 + 3x = 20 + x`

Collect like terms

`3x - x = 20 - 6`

`2x =14`

Divide by 2

`x = 7`

Substitute
`x = 7` in
`y = 20 + x`

`y = 20 + 7`

`y = 27`
