y = x + 4
y - x = 1550
y = 4x
y = 1550 + x
y = x + 4

A large pizza at Pizzi Inn 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
