Question

Pizza!

Answer 1

Three friends ate 14 slices of pizza. If two of the friends at the same number of slices, and the third at two more slices than each of the other two, how many slices were eaten by the third friend?

Answer 2

I realize I can set up as equation.

Answer 3

P+P+T=14

Answer 4

But for the 3rd friend, is it T=2P+2 Or T=p+2? It says "each" ...

Answer 5

each of the other two

Answer 6

Here each refers to a single person

Answer 7

So would that be the T=2p+2 or T=p+2?

Answer 8

T = p+2

Answer 9

OK. Thanks so much. So it is 6.
