Debbie has already taken 2 pages of notes on her own, and she will take 1 page during each hour of class. In all, how many hours will Debbie have to spend in class before she will have a total of 16 pages of notes in her notebook?

Based on the given information, we can define the following expression


y=2+1x

Where x represents hours and y represents pages.

For 16 pages, we have


\begin{gathered} 16=2+x \\ 16-2=x \\ x=14 \end{gathered}

Debbie will have to spend 14 hours to have 16 pages of notes.
