Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 6(n - 8) = 4(12 - 5n) + 14n ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
- 6n + 48 = 48 - 20n + 14n, that is
- 6n + 48 = 48 - 6n ( add 6n to both sides )
48 = 48 ← True
This indicates that the equation is true for any value of n
Step-by-step explanation:
1. if the number of pages in the 1st day is 'x', then the 2d day - 'x+10', the 3d day - 'x+20', the 4th day - 'x+30', the 5th day - 'x+40' and the last day - 'x+50' pages;
2. if the sum of all the pages is 300, then it is possible to make up the equation:
x+x+10+x+20+x+30+x+40+x+50=300;
3. x=25, it means:
1st day - 25;
2d day - 35;
3d day - 45;
4th day - 55;
5th day - 65;
6th day - 75 pages.
The easiest way to do this would be to imagine that Jolie has 100 marbles. If Mary has 40% fewer, that means she has 60 marbles. Then if they combine all their marbles into a single bag, they will have 160 marbles, of which 100 are Jolie's. So the % that is Jolie's is 100/160 = 0.625 = 62.5%.
