C) True

<h2 /><h2><u>True or false</u></h2>

Since Leia and Thaddeus are reading the same 225-page book, and Leia starts reading the book and plans to read 25 pages a day while Thaddeus has already read 45 pages and is reading 20 pages a day, to determine if each statement is true or false the following calculations must be performed:

A) Leia will finish the book in 9 days.

225/25 = X
9 = X

Therefore, it is true that Leia will finish the book in 9 days.

B) f (x) = 20x represents the number of pages Thaddeus has read in x days.

20 x 5 = 200
45 + 20 x 5 = 245

Therefore, it is false that this equation represents the number of pages Thaddeus has read in x days.

C) They will both finish the book in 9 days.

45 + 20 x 9 = X
45 + 180 = X
225 = X

Therefore, it is true that they will both finish the book in 9 days.
