Question

Answer 1

Given

In first week , he read 50 pages.

After first week , he read 65 pages.

Find

Expression represents the total number of pages Saul has read

Step-by-step explanation

Let w represents the number of weeks since he first started reading.

Assume y represent number of pages.

when w = 1 then y = 50 ; w = 2 then y = 65+50=115

we know the equation of line

y = mw + c

so ,

50 = m + c .........(1)

and

115 = 2m + c ............(2)

on solving equation (1) and (2) , we get m = 65 and c = -15

so ,

y = 65w - 15

Final Answer

Therefore , the correct option is 3rd
