It would be: k+3 = 10

subtracting 3 from both sides,

k+3-3 = 10-3

k=7

No, because here mom is adding in 3.5 more pages when it say only 1.5. So she'll be able to read 30 pages because 1.5 and 20 pages of her friends is 30. So your answer is that her mom is wrong.

Answer:

Her speed driving in nice weather is 50 mph and in thunderstorm is 32 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Barbara drives 50 miles in clear weather and then encounters a thunderstorm for the last 16 miles.

Suppose, her speed in nice weather is $x$ mph.

As she drives 18 mph slower through the thunderstorm than she does in clear weather, so her speed in thunderstorm will be: $(x-18) mph$

We know that, $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}$

So, the time of driving in clear weather $=\frac{50}{x}$ hours

and the time of driving in thunderstorm $=\frac{16}{x-18}$ hours.

Given that, the total time for the trip is 1.5 hours. So, the equation will be......

$\frac{50}{x}+ \frac{16}{x-18}=1.5 \\ \\ \frac{50x-900+16x}{x(x-18)}=1.5\\ \\ \frac{66x-900}{x(x-18)}=1.5 \\ \\ 1.5x(x-18)=66x-900\\ \\ 1.5x^2-27x=66x-900\\ \\ 1.5x^2-93x+900=0\\ \\ 1.5(x^2 -62x+600)=0\\ \\ x^2 -62x+600=0\\ \\ (x-50)(x-12)=0$
