Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She needs 12 pizzas

x + y = 12

She also can't spend more than 180 dollars.

8x + 11y < 180 She can get all 12 pizzas and have the bill come to 132 dollars

11 * 12 = 132

She could really be kind to her pocket book and get all cheese pizzas

8*12 = 96 which saves her 36 dollars.

So any number of either kind will do.

(0,12) = 132

(1,11) = 8*1 + 11*11 = 129

and so on down the line
