Question

Melanie is reading a book that has 577 pages. She has already read 187 pages of the book and will read an additional 26 pages per night. Solve 187+26n=577

Answer 1

n = 15

Explanation:

187 + 26n = 577

Subtract 187 from both sides.

187 - 187 + 26n = 577 - 187

26n = 390

Divide both sides by 26.

26n/26 = 390/26

n = 15
