x = number of pizza

.75x + 1.35(x-40) = 292.50

.75x + 1.35x + 1.35(-40) = 292.50

2.1x - 54 = 292.50

2.1x = 346.50 123.75

x = 165


what fun!

A car's gas tank held x gallons of gas before a trip. The trip consumed three quarters of the gas in the tank, but 10 gallons of gas were added after the trip. How much gas is now in the tank?

A man invested $6000, part of it at 5% simple interest and the rest at 7% simple interest. If his annual interest income is $372, how much did he invest at each rate?
