Question

Mikey is reading a 555-page book. He read 109 pages last week. If he reads for x hours at 18 pages per hour, which equation represents how long it will take him to finish the book?

Answer 1

Answer:

18x + 109 = 555

Explanations:

The total number of pages = 555

The number of pages read last week = 109

The number of hours used for reading the remaining pages = x

The number of pages read in 1 hour = 18

The total number of books he will read in x hours = 18x

Total number of books = (Number of books read last week) + 18x

555 = 109 + 18x

That is, 18x + 109 = 555
