Please help me asp I really need help

Following the rules the coordinate pairs are: (1,0), (5,1), (17,3), (53,7), (161,15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Nicole's Pattern: Multiply by 3 then add 2, starting from 1

Ion's Pattern: Add 1/2 then multiply by 2 starting from 0

So, Nicole's pattern is generated starting from 1, we multiply by 3 and then add 2 to get the next number

While Ion's pattern is generated starting from 0, we add 1/2 to it and then multiply by 2 to get the next number

Nicole's Pattern               Ion's Pattern          Coordinate pairs

1                                          0                               (1,0)

5                                          1                                (5,1)

17                                         3                              (17,3)

53                                        7                               (53,7)

161                                        15                              (161,15)

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
