Where 1/4 represents Bob and 1/6 represents Ted...
1/4x + 1/6x = 1
Multiply the two so there is no fraction by the GCF of 12. 
3x + 2x = 12
Add 3x and 2x.
5x = 12
Divide by 5.
x = 12
Plug this value in.
With that, the answer is 2 hours and 24 minutes with x = 12 meaning 144 minutes.

Answer:

y=-55x+570

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Naoya read a book cover to cover in a single session, at a rate of 55 pages per hour. After 4 hours, he had 350 pages left to read.

Let y represent the number of pages left to read after x hours.

Complete the equation for the relationship between the number of pages left and number of hours.

Let

x -----> the time in hours

y ----> the number of pages left to read

we know that

The linear equation in point-slope  form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

In this problem we have

m=-55\frac{pages}{hour}  ----> is negative because the linear function is decreasing

point\ (4,350)

substitute

y-350=-55(x-4)

y-350=-55x+220

y=-55x+220+350

y=-55x+570
