Answer 1

Answer:

$59$  pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable:

x = number of pages he has to read on a weekday

x + 30 = The number of pages read on Saturday and Sunday

$5x+2(x+30) = 473$

$==> 5x + 2x + 60 = 473$

$==> 7x =413$

$==> x = 59$

Meaning that Raoul has to read 59 pages on Wednesday
