Answer 1

Explanation:

Paul : 12 pizzas the first day and 6 pizzas each day after that...for 9 days...keep in mind, we have the first day accounted for....so we will need 12 for the first day, and then we figure it for 8 days

ur equation would be : y = 12 + 6x...with x being the number of days and y being the total pizzas.......x would be 8..so we sub in 8 for x and find the total (y)

y = 12 + 6(8).....y = 12 + 48....y = 60....so paul made 60 pizzas in 9 days

Cindy : 16 pizzas the first day and 4 pizzas each day after that

y = 16 + 4x....x = 8

y = 16 + 4(8).....y = 16 + 32....y = 48.....cindy made 48 pizzas in 9 days

Paul would have made more pizzas

paul has made 60 pizzas in 9 days

cindy has made 48 pizzas in 9 days
