Using proportions, it is found that the amount of the novel she would have read is:
D. 14/15.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
She has finished 5/6 of the novel, and will have read more 1/10 in the next two days, hence the total amount read is given by:
Hence option D is correct.

Answer:
x = - 2, x = -
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
5x² + 1 = - 13x - 5 ( add 13x - 5 to both sides )
5x² + 13x + 6 = 0
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 5 × 6 = 30 and sum = 13
The factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the x- term
5x² + 10x + 3x + 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
5x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = 0 ← factor out (x + 2) from each term
(x + 2)(5x + 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
5x + 3 = 0 ⇒ 5x = - 3 ⇒ x = -
