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

13.5x - 13y = 6
x + y = 4
x - y = 6
4x + 6y = 13
3x + 7y = 13.5
y = 10x + 13
y = 10x + 13.50
