Answer:

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

Explanation:

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:

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.
