All you have to do is make a equation. Which would be p5+3 =v  the answer should be 8 because if you plug 8 in you get (8)5+3=v  40+3= 43 then you add 8 to 43 and get 51 so i believe the answer to your question is 8

Answer: There are 8 pepperoni pizzas she order.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of vegetable pizzas and pepperoni pizzas for the eighth grade party = 51

Let the number of pepperoni pizzas be 'p'.

Let the number of vegetable pizzas be 'v'.

According to question,

[tex]v=5p+3[/tex]

So, it becomes,

[tex]v+p=51\\\\5p+3+p=51\\\\6p+3=51\\\\6p=51-3\\\\6p=48\\\\p=\dfrac{48}{6}\\\\p=8[/tex]

Hence, there are 8 pepperoni pizzas she order.
