There are 270 pages in this book.

Given that,

Emily reads a storybook the first day,

She reads 1/9 of the whole book, and on the second day, she reads 24 pages.

The ratio of the number of pages read to the remaining pages in the two days is 1:4.

We have to find

How many pages are there in this book?

According to the question,

Let, P is the number of pages,

The first day Emily reads p/9 pages of the whole book,

And the second day she read 24 pages.

The ratio of the number of pages read to the remaining pages in the two days = 1;4 = p/5.

Therefore,

The number of pages reads first day + the number of pages read the second day = The ratio of the number of pages read to the remaining pages in the two days

\rm \dfrac{p}{9} + 24 = \dfrac{p}{5}\\\\ \dfrac{p}{5} - \dfrac{p}{9} = 24\\\\\dfrac{p \times 9 - p\times 5}{45} = 24\\\\ \dfrac{9p-5p}{45} = 24\\\\\dfrac{4p}{45} = 24\\\\4p = 24\times 45\\\\4p = 1080\\\\p = \dfrac{1080}{4}\\\\p = 270 \ pages

Hence, there are 270 pages in this book.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P be the number of pages

First day reads P/9 pages

Second day reads 24 pages

two days reading is P/5  (1 page read for every 4 pages left)

         P/9 + 24 = P/5

        P + 24(9) = 9P/5

  5P + 24(9)(5) = 9P

               1080 = 4P

                     P = 270 pages

One line is y = 3x + 2 and the other line goes through the point (0, -5). Write equation of line.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

y=3x-4 is the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.  It is in the form y=mx+b.

    m is the slope (often called "rise over run") and b is the y-intercept (the point where x=0).

The y-intercept is the point (0,-4).

We need one other point.  This is where finding easy calculations pays off.  How about where x=2, y=(3)(2)-4 = 2.

That's the point (2,2).

2x+1=5x-8 Solving Equations with Many or No Solutions
aliina [53]

Hello!

\large\boxed{x = 3}

2x + 1 = 5x - 8

Solve by subtracting both sides by 2x:

2x - 2x + 1 = 5x - 2x - 8

1 = 3x - 8

Add 8 to both sides:

1 + 8 = 3x - 8 + 8

9 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3:

9/3 = 3x/3

x = 3
