Tehara has read 115 pages of a 305–page book. She reads 10 pages each day. How many days will it take to finish?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

115 + 10d = 305

We will use linear equation 10x+115=305 to solve this question, it will take 19 days to complete the book.

what is linear equation?

Linear equation is the equation where highest power of the variable used in the equation is 1. i.e. ax+b=0 where highest power of the variable x is 1.

Accoerding to this asked question,

the reader has already read 115 pages of the book.

Let she will take x days in order to finsh the remaining pages.

She reads 10 pages in one day.

So no. of pages she will read in x days = 10x

As she has read 115 pages, no. of pages she will cover from the book = 10x+115

According to asked question,

She has to finish the book in x days. so linear equation will be

10x+115=305

⇒10x=305-115

⇒10x=190

⇒x=19

It will take 19 days to complete the book.
