Sonya is writing a story. She has already written 16 pages and will write 4 pages per day until she reaches her goal of 272 pages. Which equation below COULD be used to find the number of days it will take her to reach her goal?

Answer 1

16+4p=272, or (272-16) divided by 4

the 16 is subtracted from 272 to find how many pages are left and then you divide the remaining pages by 4 to find the number of days itll take <3

Answer 2

16 + 4x = 272

Explanation:

Since Sonya has already written 16 pages you can add the equation. She writes four per day so x represents the days.
