Answer:

the answer for this question is the first choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, let's figure what number represents what. we know that cheese pizzas gary bought costed him $5 and pepperoni pizzas costed him $8. since x represents cheese pizzas and y represents pepperoni pizzas, 5x and 8y should be correct. this is also said in the problem which gives the correct addends. for the operation, it tells us the bill COMES to $75. since the pizzas are COMING to $75 in total, we know that this is addition.

Answer:

The answer is the second answer from the image. Which is 5x-8y=$75

Step-by-step explanation:

It is that answer because it costs $5 for one cheese pizza and $8 for a pepperoni pizza, so the answer is 5x-8y=75

still confused?

Its that answer because the first one and the third one are the same, just both equations like in different ways like example 10+2 is 12 right? And 2 + 10 is still 12 so that means the second answer from the image is the answer.

Hope that helps.
