In this problem you would set these two equations equal to each other. $8+ $1.50x = $10+ $1x After this you would simplify the equation to isolate x (being the number of toppings you put on the pizzas)
$8+ 1.50x =$10+ 1x -8 -8 ---------------------------- $1.50x = $2 + $1x -1x -1x --------------------------- $.50x/.50 = $2/.50 _______________ x= 4 toppings and the pizzas would equal $14 total
