Respuesta :

We know that "x" represents the number of cheese pizzas and "y" the number of gourmet pizzas. They are connected by the equation

[tex]3x+4y=48[/tex]

If he buys zero cheese pizzas, we do x = 0, therefore

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\cdot0+4y=48 \\ \\ 4y=48 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solve for "y"

[tex]y=\frac{48}{4}=12[/tex]

He can buy 12 slices of gourmet pizza.
