The amount of dough used for the pepperoni will be twice that of the cheese or 2 times the amount of dough.
2 • 0.75 = 1.5 pounds for the pepperoni.
The total will be the sum of the amount for the cheese pizza and the amount needed pepperoni:
0.75 + 1.5 = 2.25 pounds of dough for both pizzas

Sean uses 0.75 pounds of dough for the cheese pizza and twice as much though for the pepperoni pizza. So, .75 (the small pizza) + 2(.75) the large pizza will give us the amount needed. Your equation would look like this .75+2(.75)=x The words "in all" mean that we need to add the amounts together, so small pizza plus large pizza give us total amount of dough.06/06/20
