Question

TEXT ANSWER

Markita is reading a book. She decides to read the same amount of
pages every day. The line y = -45x + 750 represents how many pages
are left in her book 'x' days after she has begun reading it.
a. How many pages does the book have?
b. How many pages does she read per day?

Answer 1

a. 750 pages

b. 45 pages

Explanation:

If you're decreasing 45 of something each day from 750, it makes sense that the 'something' is pages; instead of decreasing, it's reading.

So

a. 750 pages

b. 45 pages
