Answer:
X Y
-2 8
-1 7
0 6
1 5
2 4
3 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the equation: x+y=6
We want to get this in the form: y=mx+b (or in this case y=x+b)
To do this we need y to be positive and by itself
So we subtract y from both sides and divide by -1 (we divide by -1 because otherwise y would be negative and that does not fit our template of y=x+b)
Doing this we have
-x+6=y
From here we just plug in numbers -2 to 3 which I will assume you know how to do
X Y
-2 8

Answer:
25 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a proportion:
=
=
Cross multiply and solve for x, the number of pages in 75 minutes:
60x = 1500
x = 25
So, he can read 25 pages in 75 minutes at the same rate
