Novel:

Answer 1

Answer:

short story has 32 pgs

novel has 416 pgs

Step-by-step explanation:

a novel (N) has 13 times as many pages as a short story (x) so, N = 13X

total pages is the equation N + x = 448

plug the equation for N into this

13x + x = 448, combine like terms

14x = 448, divide both sides by 14

x = 32. so now we know that the short story has 32 pages. subtract that from 448. and the novel has 416 pages.
