You would first divide 28 by 7.
28 / 7 = 4.
Now multiply 4 by 5.
4 X 5 = 20.
Therefore, Leon read 20 pages.
51(x - 21) = x + 58
<em><u>Distributive property</u></em>
51x - 1071 = x + 58
<em><u>Subtract x from both sides</u></em>
50x - 1071 = 58
<em><u>Add 1071 to both sides</u></em>
50x = 1129
<em><u>Divide both sides by 50</u></em>
x = 22.58
$.07. You do not write $.7 because that would mean 70 cents and should be written with a 0 at the end anyways. You do not write any dollar amount with a cents sign at the end, because the dollar sign replaces it. You write $.07 because 7 cents means 7/100 (7 one hundredths) so the seven must be written in the hundredths spot. Remember, the hundredth spot is the second number after a decimal.
