Question

Aiden borrows a book a public library. He read a few pages on day one. One day two, he reads twice the number of pages than he reads on one day. On the third day, he reads six pages less than what he read on the first day. If he read the entire book that contains 458 pages how many pages did he read on day three

Answer 1

Answer:

110 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Day 1 =x

Day 2 =2x

Day 3 =x-6

(x)+(2x)+(x-6)=458

Add likes together.

4x-6=458

4x=464.  Divide both sides by 4 to get x. X=116

Day 3=116-6=110
