You are ordering a pizza and soda for the big game. A deep dish pizza costs $10.25, and a two-liter of soda is $2.00. For each t
ouchdown that the Eagles score on Sunday, Vinny's Pizza lowers the cost by $1.50. How many touchdowns will the Eagles have to score for your bill to come to $4.75? Explain how to solve for the missing value using an equation.
12.25 - 1.50x = 4.75....with x being the number of touchdowns -1.50x = 4.75 - 12.25...I subtracted 12.25 from both sides -1.50x = - 7.50...now divide both sides by -1.50 x = -7.50 / -1.50 x = 6......They would have to score 6 touchdowns
