Answer:
The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> number of pages that Polina read
y ----> number of pages that Marcus read
we know that
x+y=108 ----> equation A
x=5y -----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

Find the value of x

therefore
The number of pages that Polina read was 90 and the number of pages that Marcus read was 18
This is what I got for it if it helps
Answer:
j = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
j/-2 + 7 = -12
first subtract 7 from both sides
j/-2 = -19
then multiply both sides by -2
j = 38
Answer:
2(n-6)=12
(I went too far in my explanation; I'm not going to erase it because I think it is important to have an example on solving these)
Step-by-step explanation:
Twice the difference of a number and 6 is the same as 12.
Twice means 2 times
Difference means the result of subtracting something.
is the same as means equal to (=).
So we are given 2(n-6)=12.
You can start by dividing 2 on both sides are distributing 2 to terms in the ( ).
I will do it both ways and you can pick your favorite.
2(n-6)=12
Divide both sides by 2.
n-6 =6
Add 6 on both sides
n =12
OR!
2(n-6)=12
Distribute 2 to both terms in the ( )
2n-12=12
Add 12 on both sides
2n =24
Divide both sides by 2
n =12

Answer:
90 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the time is proportional to the number of pages, you have ...
time/pages = 20/6 = T/27
Multiplying by 27 gives ...
T = 27(20/6) = 90
It is expected to take 90 minutes to check 27 pages.
