A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount?

y = 6.80 + .65x
y=7.30+.90x

x + y = 6.80
x + y = 7.30

y = 6.80+.90x
y = 7.30 + .65x

y + .90x = 6.80
y + .65x = 7.30
