Answer: She needs 10 1/2 hours to read the book.
Step-by-step explanation:I day = 1 3/4 hours
6 days = 1 3/4 x 6
6 days = 7/4 x 6
6 days = 42/4
6 days = 10 1/2 hours
Before we do any solving, we need to simplify both sides.
On the left, we can simplify -2x + 3x - 5 to x - 5.
On the right, we can simplify 6 - 21 to -16.
So we have x - 5 = -16.
Solving from here, we add 5 to both sides to get x = -11.
