This is your typical algebra question where you are looking for an unknown value given some information. The information can be set up as:
8 - x = 4*(x +3)
Distribute the 4:
8 - x = 4x + 12
Rearrange to get variables on one side:
8 - 12 = 4x + x
Simplifiy:
-4 = 5x
Isolate the variable:
-4/5 = x
Answer:
He will read 92 pages in an hour going by the current rate at which he reads
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is as follows;
Jamil found that he reads 1/5 of his 115 - page book in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate how many pages does he read in an hour
We proceed as follows;
If he reads 1/5 of 115 in 1/4 hour
1/5 of 115 pages refer to 1/5 * 115 = 23 pages
This means that he reads 23 pages in quarter of an hour
So in an hours the number of pages he will read will be 23 * 4 = 92 pages
1x•4x•5x=180
10x=180
10/10x=180/10
X= 18
I am sure that This one would be c
