Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m+5n=17.95

Subtracting the first from the second, we get:

2n=2.60

n=1.3

Toppings are $1.30 each; and a plain cheese pizza costs $11.45

Answer:the price of a plain cheese pizza is $11.45

Step-by-step explanation:let toppings = x

And a plain pizza = y

Equation 1: 3x+y=$15.35

Equation 2: 5x+y=$17.95

Subtracting equation 1 from equation 2

It would give: 2x+0y=$2.6

X=2.6/2

X=$1.3

Substituting x=$1.3 in equation 1

It would give; 3($1.3)+y=15.35

$3.9 +y=$15.35

Y=$15.35-$3.9

Y=$11.45

Y is the price of plain pizza
