Penny reads 14 pages in 1/3 hour.
In order for us to know the rate of penny, the number of hours per page, we need to do ratio and proportion.
14 : 1/3 = X : 1
1/3X = 14
X = 42
So there are 42 pages Penny can read in 1 hour.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2
Distribute,
2(x + 1) = 3(5 - x) + 2
2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2
Rearrange terms,
2x + 2 = 3(5 - x) + 2
2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2
Distribute,
2x + 2 = 3(-x + 5) + 2
2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2
Add the numbers,
2x + 2 = -3x + 15 + 2
2x + 2 = -3x + 17
Subtract 2 from both sides,
2x + 2 = -3x + 17
2x + 2 - 2 = -3x + 17 - 2
2x = -3x + 17 - 2
2x = -3x + 15
Add 3x to both sides,
2x = -3x + 15
2x + 3x = -3x + 3x + 15
5x = -3x + 3x + 15
5x = 15
Divide both sides by the same factor (15),
5x = 15
5x/5 = 15/5
x = 15/5
x = 3
Hence, the answer is 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(1+p)=8p-36
-3-3p=8p-36
+36 +3p | +3p +36
Simplifies to
33=11p
divide both side by 11
3=p thus p=3
Answer:
