Answer:

$x=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

$5(3x-2)=-x-10~(Given)\\\\15x-10=-x-10~(Distribute~5~to~3x-2)\\\\15x-10+x=-x-10+x~(Add~x~on~both~sides)\\\\16x-10=-10~(Simplify)\\\\16x-10+10=-10+10~(Add~10~on~both~sides)\\\\16x=0~(Simplify)\\\\\frac{16x}{16}=\frac{0}{16}~(Divide~16~on~both~sides)\\\\x=0~(Simplify)$

Jackie is reading a 252 page novel for her summer reading project. On Monday she reads 4/8 of the novel. On Tuesday she reads 28

natima [27]

So far, Jackie has read 217 pages

In order to determine the total number of pages Jackie read, we would have to determine the number of pages she read each day and add these pages together

Number of pages she read on Monday = $\frac{4}{8}$ x 252 = 126 pages
Number of pages she read on Tuesday = 28 pages
Number of pages she read on Wednesday = $\frac{1}{4}$ x 252 = 63 pages
