A picture is worth a thousand words, I guess. I uploaded an example to my Flickr. See my related link.
If you want an even-sized pieces, you can make a 7-slice pizza. Otherwise, the maximum is 22. (.5x^2 + .5x + 1 is the formula to determine the maximum number of slices if you use "x" cuts.)

You have to write something like a subtraction sign at the top. Say we have a pizza, and there are 8 slices. Then you eat 4 slices. Then you have to put 4 out of 8. because you had 8 slices and you ate 4 of them.
A pizza can be cut into eleven pieces with 4 straight cuts if an X is cut, then the rest of the pizza is cut starting from the right and working to the left in four straight lines.

No, they are both different amounts. If you cut a pizza into 11 slices, then five slices are more than four slices, right?
cuts chops slices, cubes, diced... etc
2n or 2 x n because if you cut it one time it will be two slices (1 x 2) it you cut it two times it will be four slices (2 x 2) ''---------------- I am afraid that's not correct. Based on the above for 3 cuts, n=3 and number of slices would be 3x2=6, which is not the correct answer. If the the third cut intersects both the previous cuts at dfifferent points, you would get 7 slices. And if you make a fourth cut in such a way that it intersects previous cuts at different points, you would get 11 slices. (Now slices may be crumb sized, that is a different matter, but mathematically that is the max slices you could make!!) In general, maximum number of slices with n cuts would be (n^2 + n + 2)/2
you can cut two horizontal cuts and one vertical cuts it'll create two columns of three slices now, with the last two cuts run a cut that splits at least four current slices making ten slices total and your last cut should split 5 current slices making 15 total i wish i could show you but it'll give you 15 slices
Cuts are normally larger with more bulk, whereas slices are thinner. For example you can slice a cut of beef roast.
Five, if you slice normally, like store-bought bread. But if you slice the bread in half vertically and make two horizontal cuts, you will have six equal-sized slices as well, with only three cuts.
Cold cuts, or cheese, or veggies between two slices of bread.
cut anywhere 3 times across but make sure the cuts are equally apart.

Each cut("line") increases the number of slices by a multiple of 2 (provided that each cut crosses the center of the pizza). So, 1 cut would make 2 pieces, 2 cuts would make 4 pieces and 3 cuts would make 8 pieces
