Connor ordered 5 toppings on his pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

17.50 + (2.35 * x) = 29.25

Remove the parentheses

17.50 + 2.35x = 29.25

Subtract 17.50 from both sides

2.35x = 29.25 - 17.50

Subtract

2.35x = 11.75

Divide both sides by 2.35

x = 5

29.25 - 17.50 = 11.75

11.75 divided by 2.35 = 5

So that he had 5 toppings on his pizza.
