Peter = n slices Ben = 3+n slices George = l/2(3+n) = 1.5+ 1/2n n + 3 + n + 1.5+ 1/2n = 12 2.5n = 7.5 So n = 7.5/2.5 = 3 Peter ate 3 slices, Ben ate 6 slices and George ate 3 slices = 12
It depends on how many slices are in the pie. If you cut the pie into 24 pieces, 12 slices will be half the pie, which will leave 12 slices, 6 could be blueberry and six could be strawberry. If there are a total of 12 slices in the pie, the three of the slices will be blueberry.
i was hoping i could cut it into alot more slices.
There are infinitely many ways. You could slice it into broad slices, moderately narrow slices, or extremely narrow slices. Or you could cut it using two or more - up to infinitely many - non-parallel lines.
There could be 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 14, 22, or more, depending on how big you want the slices to be.

There is no special name. Two totally unrelated equations could have the same solution(s).
It depends on the equation. It could have one, it could have an infinite number.
None of these could represent anything!
That depends on the pizza company. Often, the standard number of slices is 8, however most companies allow you to specify how many slices you would like, or if you would like to have the pizza double-cut.
You could be referring to any type of "meat sandwich."
One way would be to solve the two equations. If they have exactly the same solution set, they are equivalent. Otherwise they are not.
The constant could be any number.
