Answer 1

rate of change: 15 pages per day

initial value: 50 pages

Explanation:

In this scenario, the rate of change is 15 pages per day. This means that every single day Angelica can read 15 pages of the book and that is the number by which her total read pages will change. In 10 days Angelica can read 150 pages (10 days * 15 pages per day). Since the question states that in 10 days Angelica has read 200 pages then this means that the initial value of pages read would be 50 since this would be the number of missing pages to obtain the 200 read pages in a span of 10 days...

200 - 150 = 50 pages.
