At their family's pizzeria, Dave makes 6 pizzas in the first hour it is open and 3 pizzas each hour after that. Lauren makes 11 pizzas in the first hour and 3 pizzas each hour after that. If the pizzeria is open for 6 hours, how many pizzas will they make in all?

47 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Dave makes 6 pizzas in the first hour it is open and 3 pizzas each hour after that.

If the number of hours after the first hour  is represented as x, then the number of pizzas he makes after x hours is:

6 + 3x

Lauren makes 11 pizzas in the first hour and 3 pizzas each hour after that. Then:

11 + 3x

The pizzeria is open for 6 hours in all, that is, 5 hours after the first hour.

This means that:

x = 5

The total amount of pizzas that Dave and Lauren make is:

6 + 3x + 11 + 3x

=> 17 + 6x

Therefore, the total amount of pizza they make 5 hours after the first hour is:

17 + 6(5) = 17 + 30 = 47 pizzas
