    Step-by-step explanation:Total cost of cheese pizza:

    $

    10.75

    Any additional topping adds:

    +

    $

    1.25

    So a cheese pizza with

    1

    additional topping is:

    $

    10.75

    +

    $

    1.25

    =

    *

    $

    1.25

    =

    $

    14.50

    If you pay attention to the pattern you can see that, for any number of toppings, say

    x

    toppings, the price is going to be:

    $

    10.25

    +

    x

    *

    $

    1.25

    We are told the final cost is

    $

    17.00

    . That is

    $

    10.25

    +

    x

    *

    $

    1.25

    =

    $

    17.00

    Subtract

    $

    10.25

    from both sides

    $

    10.25

    -

    $

    10.25

    10.25

    x

    *

    $

    1.25

    =

    $

    6.25

    Divide both sides by

    $

    1.25

    x

    *

    $

    1.25

    $

    1.25

    =
