Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x
Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7
Seperate the 8x from the other numbers
8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6
8x = 6
Now simplify
x = 
<----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Hence,
x =
Ok, so 120 pages plus the 60% of the book she has left to read will give the total number of pages.
That means that 120 pages is 40% of the book.
Make a proportion
120/40% = x/60%
72 = .4 x
x = 180 pages
