You have $15.50 to spend on pizza. A meat lover’s pizza costs $12. Each extra topping costs $0.50. How many extra toppings can you buy? Graph your solution.

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Umm, so 12 dollars plus 0.50x must be less than or equal to 15.5 dollars. Sorry, but I don't know how to graph it.

these are the only answer choices

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

You would solve for x

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

So rearrange and solve for x like it was an equation, remember when doing so to switch signs when multiplying or dividing by a negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just not so sure how the equation would look?

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

\[12+0.50x \le 15.50\]

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

You can get rid of b and d right away, you can't have negative toppings
