    10.25 + 2.00 = 12.25 ... cost of pizza and soda

    12.25 - 1.50x = 4.75 ... with x being the number of touchdowns

    -1.50x = 4.75 - 12.25 ... I subtracted 12.25 from both sides

    -1.50x = - 7.50 ... now divide both sides by - 1.50

    x = - 7.50 / - 1.50

    x = 6 ... They would have to score 6 touchdowns
