Question

Emma has just started writing her new mystery novel. She plans to write 2 pages per hour.

Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of hours Emma spends
writing, x, and the number of pages written in all, y.
y =

How long will it take Emma to write 150 pages?

Answer 1

y = 2x

Explanation:

If y = 150, and Emma wants to write two pages per hour, then to find x, we need to divide 150 by 2.

150/2

= 75

It would take Emma 75 hours to write 150 pages.

So as an equation, it would be represented as y = 2x because y is equal to the value of x times 2.
