Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
She needs 12 pizzas
x + y = 12
She also can’t spend more than 180 dollars.
8x + 11y < 180 She can get all 12 pizzas and have the bill come to 132 dollars
11 * 12 = 132
She could really be kind to her pocket book and get all cheese pizzas
8*12 = 96 which saves her 36 dollars.
So any number of either kind will do.
(0,12) = 132
(1,11) = 8*1 + 11*11 = 129
and so on down the line
