We'll need one equation for the amount of pizzas, and another for the total cost of the pizzas. In this case, x will represent small pizzas, and y will represent large pizzas.

3x + 4y = 100

x + y = 30

Solving the system of equations:

First, we need to solve for one variable in one equation.

x + y = 30

x = 30 - y

Then, we'll take our equation that is solved for x and plug it into the other equation from above.

3(30 - y) + 4y = 100

Next, we solve for y.

90 - 3y + 4y = 100

90 + y = 100

y = 10

Finally, we take our value for y and plug it back in to the very first equation and solve for x.

x = 30 - 10

x = 20

Answer:

The student has sold 10 large pizzas and 20 small pizzas.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

a = 19.6 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Hypotenuse - 35 m, Legs - 29 m, x

a^2 +29^2 = 35^2

a^2 + 841 = 1225

Subtract 841 from both sides

a^2 = 384

Square root both sides

√a^2 = √384

a = 19.595
