Question 932204: A person was in charge of ordering 35 pizzas for an office party. He ordered three types of pizza, cheese, pepperoni, and supreme, the cheese cost 9$ each, pepperoni cost 12$ each, and supreme cost 15$ each. He spent exactly twice as much money on the pepperoni pizza as he did the cheese pizza. If the person spent a total of 420$ how much was each type of pizza

x = number cheese pizzas
y = number pepperoni pizzas
z = number supreme pizzas
---
x + y + z = 35
9x + 12y + 15z = 420
12y = 2*9x
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y + z = 35
9x + 12y + 15z = 420
18x - 12y = 0
