The unit rate you're trying to find is pages per day(or p/d), so the equation needs to have both a unit for pages and for days.
The equation we have is:

If they read 5,249 <em>pages</em>, then we can include the unit for pages in the equation.
Since we also know that <em>d</em> is the number of days it took, you can replace <em>d</em> with days.
The equation becomes:

Now that we have one variable, we can solve for <em>p/d</em>:

Thus it took them 181 days to read it all.
If Johnny read 5,249 pages over 181 days and the unit rate is pages per day(p/d), then the equation for finding <em>p/d</em> is:
Johnny read 29 pages per day.
Adding both equations cancels y:
<span>4x + 8y = 16
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2
filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:
4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1
So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>
Answer:
(-1/3; 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2, -1) , (-1, 6 ) and (2, 7).
x=(-2-1+2)/3= -1/3
y=(-1+6+7)/3=12/3=4
=> (-1/3; 4)
79% = 0.79= 79/100
(not sure if this is what you meant?)
