Paulina has read 58 pages of the 234-page book she is doing a book report on for Language Arts. She plans to finish her book by

reading 25 pages each day. Using d for the number of days, write a two-step equation to model this situation that you could solve to find out how many days Paulina took to read the rest of her book. Multiple choice question.
A) 25d – 58 = 234
B) 25d + 58d = 234
C) 25 + 58d = 234
D) 25d + 58 = 234

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A:

25d - 58 = 234

Add 58 to 58 and 234

25d = 292

Divide 25 from both sides

d = 11

A is incorrect because you need to subtract the pages that have been read.

—

B:

25d + 58d = 234

Combine Like Terms

83d = 234

Divide 83 from both sides

d = 83

B is incorrect because 58 pages aren't days, those are the pages read so this equation is overall incorrect.

—

C:

25 + 58d = 234

Subtract 25 from both sides

58d = 209

Divide both sides by 58

d = 3.603 and so on

C is incorrect because, again, 58 isn't the days its the pages read.

—

D:

25d + 58 = 234

Subtract 58 from 58 and 234

25d = 176

Divide 25 from both sides

d = 7.04

D is the correct answer because 25 is the days and 58 is the pages read. You subtracted 58 from each side, making the number of pages in the book go down because you read those pages. You also divided 176 (the pages left) by the days, so 7.04 is your answer. 7 is the answer rounded down. D is your answer.

Jaxon has $65 in his savings account. He deposits $15 every week. His father also deposits $25 into the account every time Jaxon
Grace [21]
Part A:
A coefficient can be either '15' or '25'.
A variable can be either 'w' or 'm'.
A constant is 65.

Part B:
Simply substitute, or plug-in, the numbers and solve.
***Step 1:
65+15w+25m --> 65+15(20)+25(3)
You do this because you are substituting the 'w' for the number
of weeks that Jaxon saved up for, which is 20, and the 'm' for the number
of times that Jaxon mowed the lawn, which is 3.
***Step 2:
65+15(20)+25(3) --> 65+300+75
Begin to solve, using PEMDAS, or whichever acronym you learned.
Remember, if you are using PEMDAS, recall that the order is Parenthesis,
Exponents, Multiplication/Division (whichever comes first), and
Addition/Subtraction (whichever comes first). Here, I checked for parenthesis.
I did find parenthesis, however, they do not have any expressions inside of
them, meaning that these parenthesis are for multiplying, and not for stating
order. So, you skip parenthesis. Next, you check for exponents, which you
find none of, so you skip over that. Now, we get to multiplying/dividing, so
you multiply the 15 and the 20 to get 300, and the 25 and 3 to get 75.
***Step 3:
65+300+75 --> 440
Now, we get to addition. You simply add everything up to get your final
answer: $440.

Part C:
If Jaxon had $75, then yes, the coefficients would change.
By subtracting $65 from $75, we can see that the total amount of money
from Jaxon's deposits and his lawn-mowing money is $10. Jaxon already
deposits $15 a week, meaning that, while using the current equation, Jaxon
CANNOT have $75 in his bank account. We can change the equation
so that Jaxon is able to have $75 in his savings account. You can change
the coefficient of 15 to 10, and the other coefficient of 25 to 0.
Now Jaxon is able to have $75 in his savings account.

1) Billy walks 15 miles every day to soccer practice, and catches a ride home from his grandma. Billy had 5 practices last week.
nignag [31]

1 )  Billy walks 15 miles every day to soccer practice and he had 5 practices last week.

We know that,  1 mile = 1760 yards

So, 15 miles = (15× 1760) yards = 26400 yards

Thus the total distance walked in 5 practices will be: (26400*5)yards = 132000 yards


2) Mark's current age is t years

So, his age was in 10 years ago =(t-10)years

Given that, his current age is 3 times his age 10 years ago.

So, the equation to represent this situation will be :  t= 3(t-10)
