The two combinations of cheese and pepperoni pizzas that Mrs. Taylor can purchase without exceeding her spending limit are; x + y ≥ 12 and

8x + 11y < 180

We are told that she needs twelve pizzas. The equation below represents the number of pizzas of the type she needs to buy;

x + y ≥ 12

Where;

x represents the number of pepperoni pizzas she can buy while keeping her limit of 12 pizzas.

y represents the number of cheese pizzas she can buy while keeping her limit of 12 pizzas.

We are told that she cannot spend more than 180 dollars. Thus, our inequality is now;

8x + 11y < 180

Where;

8x represents the amount of dollars per pepperoni pizza.

11y represents the amount of dollars per cheese pizza.

These equations show all possible solutions.
