Peter is reading a 193-page book. he has read three pages more than one-fourth of the number of pages he hasn't yet read. how ma
exis [7]
Let's call <em />the number of pages we <em>have </em>read m. To find the number of pages we have <em>left</em> to read, we'll need to subtract the number of pages we've read from the total number of pages in the book. Our total page count is 193, and the number of pages we've read is the unknown m, so the number of pages we <em />haven't read can be written as 193-m. With that knowledge, let's construct the rest of our equation.

"He has read three pages more than one-fourth of the number of pages he hasn't yet read." The first key phrase here is "he has read." What this means is that the number of pages he's read, which we've named m, is equal to everything in the rest of the sentence. "Thee pages more than" means that we're going to be adding 3 to whatever the next quantity described is, which, in this case, is "one-fourth of the number of pages he hasn't yet read." We already established earlier that "the number of pages he hasn't yet read" is 193-m, so one-fourth of that would be \frac{1}{4} (193-m). Putting everything together, we get the following equation:

m= \frac{1}{4} (193-m)+3

To solve for m, we might first want to eliminate the fraction 1/4 by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4, obtaining

4m=193-m+12

Solving for m, we get:

4m=193+12-m\\5m=205\\m=41

Now that we have m, it's a simple matter to solve for 193-m:

193-41=152

So, he has not yet read 152 pages.

Maggie's brother is 6 years younger than four times her age. The sum of their ages is 39. How old is Maggie?
poizon [28]

We can set Maggie's age to x

If her brother is six years younger than four times her age, than her brother must be equal to: 4x-6

Since the sum of their ages is 39, we can set up an equation.

(Sum of Maggie's age) + (sum of Maggie's brother's age) = 39

x + (4x -6) = 39

5x -6 = 39

5x = 45

x = 9 , Maggie's age is 9
