-1 is your answer.........
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.
