There are no answer options so I will just simplify the expression:
3xy-(2x+4xy)
3xy-2x-4xy
-2x-xy
Given:
Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday.
She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.
To find:
The number of pages she read on Sunday.
Solution:
Let x be the number of pages she read on Sunday.
Reese read twice as many pages Saturday than she read Sunday. So, the number of pager she read on Saturday is 2x.
Total number of page she read over the weekend is:


She read a total of 78 pages over the weekend.



Therefore, Reese read 26 pages on Sunday.
Let the value of the car be represented by V and the amount of years by y.
This gives us the following formula:
V = 25,635 - 3000y
(This is because we start with a value of $25,635 and the value decreases by $3,000 every year 'y')
Now, we want to know when the car is worth $3,135, so we know V = 3,135
Now we can make up our equation:
25,365 - 3,000y = 3,135
Collecting terms gives us:
-3,000y = -22,500
Finally we divide by -3,000 to find 'y'
y = -22,500 / -3,000 = 7.5
Hence, the car will be worth $3,135 after 7.5 years.
