Part A)

Part B) The meaning of the variable x is the number of each additional topping

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

At a pizzeria, a plain slice of pizza costs $2.25, and each  additional topping costs $0.50. Jared buys a slice of pizza for a total cost of $3.75. The equation 2.25+0.5x=3.75 can be  used to represent this situation.

Part A: What is the value of x in the equation above?

x = _________

Part B: What is the meaning of the variable x in terms of the

situation?

Part A)

Let

x ----> the number of additional topping

we know that

The cost of a plain slice of pizza ($2.25) plus the number of  each additional topping multiplied by $0.50 must be equal to $3.75

The linear equation that represent this problem is

solve for x

subtract 2.25 both sides

divide by 0.5 both sides

Part B)

The meaning of the variable x is the number of each additional topping
