Let the number of pepperoni pizzas be x
pepperoni = x
veggie = x - 8 [<span>There were eight fewer veggie than pepperoni]
</span>combo = 3x [T<span>here were three times as many combo as pepperoni]
</span>
Given that the total Pizza: 112
x + x - 8 + 3x = 112
5x - 8 = 112
5x = 112 + 8
5x = 120
x = 24
x= 24
x - 8 = 16
3x = 72
So there were 24 pepperoni pizza, 16 veggie pizza and 72 combo pizza
Unsure of what you're asking.
If you have an algebraic expression in front of you and see a number there, you could label it as "known" or "a known quantity." Another word that comes to mind is "constant."

I count 5. There could be more. Sorry. Don't have scratch paper at the moment.
