Answer:
59.52 days
Step-by-step explanation:
So this is a simple problem we can solve easily
If it takes 3 days to read 50 pages then obviously his rate of reading is 50 pages per day
If we divide 992 by 50, then we can find how many 3 day increments it will take him
(992/50 is 19.84)
Now is we multiply 19.84 by 3, we get the total amount of days which is 59.52
I hope I helped and have a wonderful day!
7+10x-2x-2=-3
—-Combine like terms...10x-2x=8x and 7-2=5
8x+5=-3
——subtract 5 on both sides.. the 5’s will cancel each other and -3-5=-8
8x=-8
——Divide 8 on both sides...the 8’s will cancel out and -8 divided by 8 = -1
Answer: x = -1
-1 and -1/-2
