Answer:
47 pizzas
Step-by-step explanation:
Dave makes 6 pizzas in the first hour it is open and 3 pizzas each hour after that.
If the number of hours after the first hour is represented as x, then the number of pizzas he makes after x hours is:
6 + 3x
Lauren makes 11 pizzas in the first hour and 3 pizzas each hour after that. Then:
11 + 3x
The pizzeria is open for 6 hours in all, that is, 5 hours after the first hour.
This means that:
x = 5
The total amount of pizzas that Dave and Lauren make is:
6 + 3x + 11 + 3x
=> 17 + 6x
Therefore, the total amount of pizza they make 5 hours after the first hour is:
17 + 6(5) = 17 + 30 = 47 pizzas
