Let N be the number of novels Shen needs to read in M months.
Write an equation relating N to M. Then use this equation to find the number of novels Shen needs to read in 13 months.

Answer 1

Equation: N = 2M, Shen needs to read 26 novels in 13 months

Explanation:

Given : Shen needs to read 2 novels each month.

i.e. In One month , the number of novels read by Shen = 2

Let N be the number of novels Shen needs to read in M months.
