Answer:

Let p represent the # of pages in the book.  Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.

If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night.  If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.

How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night?  Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."

If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:

First night:  28%

Second night:  28%  

Third night:  28%

 Total:  3(28%) = 84%

This leaves 16% to read on the final night.

This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.

The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.

Given a graph for the transformation of f(x) in the format g(x) = f(x) + k, determine the k value.
nasty-shy [4]

Adding K shifts the graph up that many units.

The vertex of f(x) is at y = -3

The vertex of g(x) is at y = 1

This as a 4 unit shift upwards.

K = 4

What is an equivalent form of 14(p + 6) − 10(2q + 5)?
aalyn [17]

The equivalent form of 14(p + 6) − 10(2q + 5)  is 14p − 20q + 34.

<h3>What is mathematical expansion?</h3>

An mathematical expansion occurs when a mathematical object is been scaled using a  scale factor that is greater in absolute value than one.

14(p + 6) − 10(2q + 5)  

If we open the bracket, we have

14p − 20q + 34

Therefore option D is correct.

Bryan is observing the velocity of a cyclist at different times. After four hours, the velocity of the cyclist is 15 km/h. After
Gnoma [55]
The best way to solve this problem is to graph all variables, velocity being the dependent variable (y-axis) and time being the independent variable (x-axis) . Since we are given two points for the two variables, we use the point-slope formula to get the slope which happens to be -1. We then use the standard form y = mx + b and substitute m with -1. Next we want to find b, we will again use the point slope formula now knowing m to be -1. we chose point 0 for time(x-axis) and at zero, we obtain a value of your b which happens to be +19. A line graph would better visualize my point. Cheers!
