Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

For Ray

He has 16 pages already

Now he is writing 2 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=2x+16-------------1

For Claudia

He has 2 pages already

Now he is writing 4 pages per day

let x be the number of days

and y be the total number of pages writen

the linear function for the situation is given as

y=4x+2-------------2

Step two:

let us equate equation 1 and 2 to find x

2x+16=4x+2

collect like terms

2x-4x=2-16

-2x=-12

divide both sides by -2

x=12/2

x=6

Therefore it will take 6 days for them to have the same number of pages

Evaluate the expression (7+6i)−(−9−8i) and write the result in the form a+bi.
BabaBlast [244]

Remove the parentheses and combine the like terms:

7 - -9 = 7+ 9 = 16

6i - -8i = 6i +8i = 14i

The answer is 16 + 14i

sdas [7]
It goes by 8!

If u see, 4 + 8= 12 +(another) 8 = 20! It skips 8 every time!

If u were to continue it, 20 + 8 = 28 and so on!
The difference is the sum of the number totalled.

Hope this helps!
