Question

Keith is an independent filmmaker. He's planning to serve pizza and sub sandwiches at his first film debut. The number of sandwiches is twice the value of four less than the number of pizzas. If he ordered 62 sandwiches, how many pizzas did he order?

Answer 1

Hi! So from what I understand, you divide 62 by 2 then add 4

Answer 2

s+8=2p

p=(s+8)/2, since s=62

p=(62+8)/2

p=70/2

p=35

So Keith ordered 35 pizzas.
