<span>(13a + 5b) + (a + 5b - 3)
</span><span>
= 13a + 5b + a + 5b - 3
= 14a + 10b - 3 </span>
4*6*8=192
So they can have 192 choices for the pizza
So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"
whatever they're, we know a + b = 56
let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12
and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12
so

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is
what's b? well, b = 56 - a
Well the minutes are 198 still working on the rest
