Product is multiplication.
Let the number = x
3 *( X+7) = -36
Use distributive property:
3x +21 = -36
Subtract 21 from each side:
3x = -57
Divide both sides by 3:
x = -57 /3
x = -19
Check: 3 * (-19 +7) = 3 * -12 = -36
The number is -19
The product will be 40 I believe?
To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this
y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)
The we subtract one equation from the other to solve
0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10
Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20
So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.
