Answer:

  • plain cheese $11.45
  • each topping $1.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the price of a cheese pizza (no toppings), and t represent the price of a topping.

  c + 3t = 15.35 . . . . cost of a 3-topping pizza

  c + 5t = 17.95 . . . . cost of a 5-topping pizza

__

Subtract the first equation from the second.

  (c +5t) -(c +3t) = (17.95) -(15.35)

  2t = 2.60 . . . simplify [equation 3]

  t = 1.30 . . . . . divide by 2

Then the cost of the cheese pizza is ...

  c = 15.35 -3t = 15.35 -3(1.30) = 11.45

A plain cheese pizza costs $11.45; each topping costs $1.30.

_____

<em>Comment on the working</em>

If you're paying attention to what the problem statement is telling you, you should be able to arrive at "equation 3" without much thought. The 5-topping pizza differs from the 3-topping pizza only in the price of 2 toppings. Once you know the price of a topping, figuring the base price of the pizza is not hard.

Given:

\Delta DHE\sim \Delta DGF

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We know that, corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Since,\Delta DHE\sim \Delta DGF, therefore

\dfrac{HE}{GF}=\dfrac{DE}{DF}

On substituting the values from the figure, we get

\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{x}{x+2}

\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{x}{x+2}

On cross multiplication, we get

2(x+2)=3x

2x+4=3x

4=3x-2x

4=x

Therefore, the value of x is 4.

larisa [96]

Answer:

22

Step-by-step explanation:

(5x-7 )+(4x-11)=180 ( it equals 180 because those two angles equal 180)

Then add the similar things together

5x+4x=9x

-7-11= -18

9x-18=180, add 18 on both sides to get 9x alone

9x=180, then divide 180 by 9 to get x alone

x=22
