Let $\"+y+\"$ = total number of pizzas served
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+x+\"$ = total number of people served
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+x%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this case, $\"+y=5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5+=+x%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The pizzas can serve 15 people\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
