System of equations:
We'll need one equation for the amount of pizzas, and another for the total cost of the pizzas. In this case, x will represent small pizzas, and y will represent large pizzas.
3x + 4y = 100
x + y = 30
Solving the system of equations:
First, we need to solve for one variable in one equation.
x + y = 30
x = 30 - y
Then, we'll take our equation that is solved for x and plug it into the other equation from above.
3(30 - y) + 4y = 100
Next, we solve for y.
90 - 3y + 4y = 100
90 + y = 100
y = 10
Finally, we take our value for y and plug it back in to the very first equation and solve for x.
x = 30 - 10
x = 20
Answer:
The student has sold 10 large pizzas and 20 small pizzas.
Hope this helps!! :)

Given:
The equation is:
To find:
The value of p.
Solution:
We have,
Subtract 
from both sides.
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, the value of p is 6.
