Question

Esteban is reading a book with 16 pages. He has read 9 pages so far. How many pages does Esteban have left to read? Write two equations to show how to make 10 to subtract.

Answer 1

7 pages

Explanation:

Given the total number of pages in the book are 16

The number of pages esteban already read are 9

Let the number of pages left out to read be x

Total number of pages = number of pages read + number of pages to be read

16=9+x

x=16-9

x=7 pages

Therefore There are 7 pages left out to be read.
