Micah was asked to add the following expressions:

First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.

So he got , 
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
Answer:
600 Cheese and 900 Pepperoni
Step-by-step explanation:
Setup the equation with 2c(Cheese) + 2.5p(Pepperoni) = $3450(Total Made).
In addition to the equation c + p = 1500(Number of pizzas sold)
Using the second equation (c + p = 1500) solve for one of the variables.
Lets use :
- p = 1500 - c
- Plus this equation into the original equation, 2c + 2.5(1500 - c) = 3450
- Distribute 2.5, 2c + 3750 - 2.5c = 3450
- Combine like terms -0.5c + 3750 = 3450
- Solve for c: c = 600
- Plus 600 in for c into any equation ( lets use c + p = 1500)
- 600 + p = 1500
- P = 900
