Jeremiah dad Ordered five large pepperoni pizzas in each large cheese pizzas for the birthday party he spent a total of 144 on pizza if a pepperoni pizza cost 12 right and solve a linear equation to find the cost of a cheese pizza

This question is incomplete because part of the information is missing; here is the complete question:

Jeremiah's dad ordered 5 large pepperoni pizzas and 8 large cheese pizzas for the birthday party. He spent a total of $144 on pizza. If a pepperoni pizza costs $12, write and solve a linear equation to find the cost of a cheese pizza.

The answer to this question is $10.50

Explanation:

The first step to solve this problem is to write a linear equation. In this, the unknown should be represented by an x, and other variables should be included using correct mathematical symbols. Here is the process:

1. In an equation there is always an equality symbol = and mathematical expressions on both sides.

2. In this situation, the value after the = symbol should be 144 or the total spend on pizzas.

3. The values missing should be expressed as 5 (12) + 8x because there are 5 pepperoni pizzas and each of these costs $12; also, this should be added to the 8 cheese pizza and x represents the missing value (the price of a cheese pizza.)

4. Solve the equation

5 (12) + 8x = 144 -Simplify using multiplication

60 + 8x = 144 - Solve by moving the number to the right side and changing the symbol

8x = 144 - 60

8x = 84

x = 84 ÷ 8

x = 10.5

answer: the 4 kilogram bag

step-by-step explanation: this is because if you divide the number of kilograms into the total it will tell you how much each individual kilogram would be worth. 2 kilos is 7 and change 3 would be around 6 ish and the 4 kilo would be 4.6 and change and the 5 kilos would be like 4.88
