He has not read 152 pages.

If y is the number of pages he has not read and x is the number of pages he has read, then:

x+y=193
x=1/4y+3 (the number of pages he has read is three pages more than one fourth the number of pages he hasn't read)

Since we have two equations, solving for one variable will allow us to substitute that value into the other equation. Since x is already isolated in the second equation, we will use that, substituting the value of x from the second equation into the first.

(1/4y+3)+y=193
5/4y+3=193
5/4y=190
y=152

What is the change from -9 to -1?.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Positive 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they're both negative numbers and it went from -9 to -1, you had to have added a positive number to get a lesser negative number. To put it simply, if you were to subtract 8 from 9, you'd get 1.
