Question

loris book has 6 times more pages than sals book. the combined number of pages for the two books is 532. how many pages loris book have?

Answer 1

Your equation would be x+6x=532. You would add the "x's" together to get 7x=532. You would then divide each side by 7 resulting in x=76. This means Sal's book has 76 pages. To get Lori's book, you just times Sam's by 6 (76×6) which is 456. Lori's book has 456 pages.
