Question

Juliet wants to read more this year. So far, she has read two books for a total of 730 pages. Juliet's goal is to read 25 pages each day for the rest of the school year. Let x represent the number of days that she has followed her plan, and let y represent the total number of pages read.

Which of the following linear equations can Juliet use to model her plan and calculate the total number of pages read?


y=25−730xy is equal to 25 minus 730 x

y=730−25xy is equal to 730 minus 25 x

y=25+730xy is equal to 25 plus 730 x

y=730+25x

Answer 1

Answer: y= 730+25x

Explanation:

Given: Total pages she already read = 730

Pages read by her in 1 week = 25

Let x = number of days that she has followed her plan, and let y = the total number of pages read.

Then total pages she will read in x days = 25x

therefore , Total pages she read till now(y) =730 + 25x

Hence, the linear equations can Juliet use to model her plan and calculate the total number of pages read:

y= 730+25x
