Answer:
36 pages per day on average
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the average.
3 * 28 (The first 3 days of the week where Mike reads 28 pages per day) = 84
4 * 42 (The next 4 days where Mike reads 42 pages per day ) = 168
168 + 84 = 252
To find the average using this total, divide it by the total amount of days of reading (seven days in this problem).
252 / 7 = 36
Answer:
Hope the graph below helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
23. x = 4; DE = 44
24. x = 25; DS = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
23. Point S is the midpoint of DE, so ...
DS = SE
3x +10 = 6x -2
12 = 3x . . . . . . . . . add 2-3x
4 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3
Then DS has length ...
DS = 3x +10 = 12 +10 = 22
and DE is twice that length, so ...
DE = 44
__
24. DS is half the length of DE, so is ...
DS = DE/2 = 56/2
DS = 28
Then x can be found from ...
DS = x +3
28 -3 = x = 25 . . . . . substitute value for DS

<em>Comment on problem 24</em>
Sometimes it is easier to work parts of a problem out of sequence. Here, finding DS first makes finding x easier.
