Question

Melanie is working to complete her summer reading in one week so she can enjoy the rest of her summer, she read 5x+4 pages on monday and 2x-6 pages on tuesday and x+7 pages on wednesday.

how many did she ready in total in three days?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find out how many pages Melanie read in total in three days, we need to add up the number of pages she read on each day (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday).

Total pages read = (5x + 4) + (2x - 6) + (x + 7)

Now, let's combine like terms:

Total pages read = 5x + 4 + 2x - 6 + x + 7

Combine the x terms:

Total pages read = 8x + 5

So, Melanie read 8x + 5 pages in total over the three days.
