Answer:

A plain pizza is $10.50 and a pepperoni pizza is $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the price of a pepperoni pizza and y is the price of a plain pizza:

3x + 2y = 58.5

2x + 4y = 67

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:

-6x - 4y = -117

2x + 4y = 67

Add these together and solve for x:

-4x = -50

x = 12.5

So, a pepperoni pizza is $12.50. Plug in 12.5 as x into one of the equations, and solve for y:

2x + 4y = 67

2(12.5) + 4y = 67

25 + 4y = 67

4y = 42

y = 10.5

So, a plain pizza is $10.50.

A plain pizza is $10.50 and a pepperoni pizza is $12.50

Isaac wants the equation below to have no solution when the missing number is placed in the box.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: To have an equation with no solution you have to get something like 0=1 meaning you have to remove all the variables. In this equation you would distribute to get xy+2y+2x=2x+12+4x where y is the missing number. then combining like terms you get xy+2x+2y=6x+12. Subtracting 2x from both sides you get xy+2y=4x+12. Now to get the variables gone y has to be 4 so that the variables to cancel out. By plugging in 4 you can see this works; 4x+8=4x+12 and by subtracting 4x from both sides you get 8=12 which is not true meaning there is no solution.
