Jacobs pizza parlor sells pizza for $10 each, with a $20 delivery fee. Ashley's pizza parlor has a $12 delivery fee and sells pizza for $12 dollars each. At what point do the pizza parlors cost the same to deliver pizza?

The pizza parlors cost the same when delivering 4 pizzas.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each store, the total price is

cost of pizzas + cost of delivery

The cost of delivery is just a fixed number for each store, $20 or $12.

The cost of the pizzas is the price of a pizza multiplied by the number of pizzas.

Let x = number of pizzas

The cost of the pizzas is

Jacob's: 10x

Ashley's: 12x

Jacob's total cost (pizzas + delivery):

10x + 20

Ashley's total cost (pizzas + delivery):

12x + 12

We want the total costs to be the same, so we set our two total cost expressions equal and solve for x.

12x + 12 = 10x + 20

Subtract 10 from both sides.

2x + 12 = 20

Subtract 12 from both sides.

2x = 8

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 4

The pizza parlors cost the same when delivering 4 pizzas.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
