Question

Sam is reading part of a novel for Literature class. He estimates that he can read 2 pages each minute. He has 66 pages left to read in his assignment. He considers pages that he has left to read as negative values and the pages he reads beyond the requirement as positive values. PLZ HELP I NEED THE EQUATION

Answer 1

$66 \div 2 = 33$
33min to read 66 pages

$66 \times 2 = 132$
66min to read 132 pages

$- 66 + 132 = 66$
Sam needs to read 132 pages in 66 minutes to reach his agreement
