Question

Bob is reading a 445 page book. He has already read 157 pages. If he reads 24 pages a day, how long will it take him to finish the book?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 days

Step-by-step explanation: 445 minus 157 equals 288. Then you divide that by 24 to get twelve.

Answer 2

Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation with y = mx + b, where m is the rate and b is the y-intercept (starting value)

Let x represent how many days it takes and y represent how many pages he read:

445 = 24x + 157

Solve for x:

288 = 24x

12 = x

So, it will take him 12 days to finish the book
