Question

Can someone help me with this question please (brainiest and 50 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Stephanie read more than 7 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation y= 8x

First, lets break down the equation given.

• y represents the total amount of points.
• x represents each book read.

Since Stephanie gained a total of 72 points, then y = 72. The value of x is unknown and is the value that we need to figure out as it will tell us how many books Stephanie read.

72= 8x

Simply divide both sides by 8.

$\frac{72}{8} =\frac{8x}{8}$

$9=x$

Remember, x represents each book read. Stephanie read 9  books. So, Stephanie read more than 7 books.

Answer 2

Answer: Stephanie read more than 7 books because 8 points for 9 books each is equal to 72 points, which is the total amount of books she read.

Step-by-step explanation:

72 ÷ 8 × 9

x = 9

Hope this helped! :D
