Question

a book has x pages. how many pages are in the book if Kayla read 45 pages of a book Monday, 1/2 the book Tuesday, and the remaining 72 pages Wednesday

Answer 1

Hi! I hope this helps!

First set up your equation!
x = 45 + 1/2x + 72
Then, simplify terms!
x = 115 + 1/2x
Afterwards, multiply 115 and 1/2 by 2!
x = 115 + 1/2x
         2      2
x = 230
Then, write your answer statement!

I hope you learned how to do this problem!
