Given:
Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday.
She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.
To find:
The number of pages she read on Sunday.
Solution:
Let x be the number of pages she read on Sunday.
Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday. So, the number of pager she read on Saturday is 2x.
Total number of page she read over the weekend is:


She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.



Therefore, Reese read 26 pages on Sunday.
Answer:
For the question on the right, I assume b is the exponential factor, or growth factor.
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear:

You can find the equation by using two points and the equation for a line.
Exponential:

Lynne ran farther and by 7/8 miles
You can tell Lynne ran further because she ran 3 whole miles while shelly only ran 2 whole miles. Now you have to subtract to see how much Lynne had ran more.
You found a common denominator between 8 and 4. 4 can turn into 8. so you multiply 4x2 and 1x2 to get a mixed number of 2 2/8
Now you have to turn 3 1/8 because you cannot subtract 2/8 from 1/8. You can turn the fraction into 2 9/8 because there are 8 pieces in a whole.
2 9/8 - 2 2/8 = 0 7/8
Hope this helps! :)
