Question

Broonzy is on her schools battle of the books team. She still has 40 pages to read in her final book before the competition if she reads five times number of pages tonight as she read last night and then the last 10 pages tomorrow night she will be finished with her book right and solve an equation to determine how many pages Brinsey has to read tonight

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of pages Broonzy read last night. Then, 5x represents the number of pages she will read tonight. According to her plan, after reading 5x pages tonight and 10 pages tomorrow night, she will complete the remaining 40 pages. The equation can be expressed as:

x (last night) + 5x (tonight) + 10 (tomorrow night) = 40 (total remaining pages)

Combining the terms, we get:

6x + 10 = 40

Now, let's solve for x:

6x = 30

x = 5

So, Broonzy read 5 pages last night. To determine the number of pages she needs to read tonight, we multiply x by 5:

5x = 5 * 5 = 25

Therefore, Broonzy has to read 25 pages tonight to finish her book according to her plan.
