Answer:
(x+y) / 72
Step-by-step explanation:
Kate needs to read 2 books
she's not sure how many pages are in each book.
Let
Number of pages in the first book = x
Number of pages in the second book = y
Total pages of the two books = x + y
Kate's summer vacation = 72 days
she is planning to read the same number of pages each day of her summer vacation.
Number of pages she will need to read each day = (x+y) pages / 72 days
Number of pages she will need to read each day = (x+y) / 72
