The answer to this would be x-(x+14)

Here's an explanation:

Let x represent the unknown number. The problem says that x has been decreased by the sum of x and 14. So, to put this in a form of an equation, it would be x-(x+14), since you have to do the addition first before you can subtract the two number since you don't know what x is. This equation is equal to -14 no matter what x is.

Two students are reading a novel. Ashley reads 10 pages per day. Carly reads 8 pages per day, but she starts early and is alread

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The word per indicates the slope (m) of a linear function, y=mx +b.Using d for x and p for y , the equation representing Ashely's reading is p = 10d. Carly begins on page 40 which represents b, the y intercept of a linear function which indicates an initial amount. So the equation representing Carly's reading is p=8d + 40.
