Larson · Answer 1

The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:

x = cheese pizza

y = pepperoni pizza

The system of equations is:

"Each cheese pizza costs $ 10 and each pepperoni pizza costs $ 13 ... I have school dance budget will allow for no more than $ 200 to pay for the pizzas"

10x + 13y < = 200

"The number of cheese pizzas should be more than twice the number of pepperoni pizzas"

x> 2y

Answer:

The situation is represented by:

10x + 13y < = 200

x> 2y
