112 wpm, and each week he hopes to increase
his speed by 8 words per minute.

Answer 2

Answer: 8 weeks

Explanation:

Given : Stephen is tracking how many words per minute (wpm) he reads for reading class.

Equation:
`w = 112 + 8t`, where t = time (weeks) and w = wpm .

Then, the equation to find number of weeks (w), it will take Stephen to reach

171 wpm is given by :-

`171=112+8t\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8t=171-112\\\\\Rightarrow\ 8t=59\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=(59)/(8)=7.375\approx8`

Hence it will take about 8 weeks Stephen to reach 171 wpm.
