pages
Let's assume the number of pages Susan read yesterday is "x".
According to the given information, 17 = (1/3)x - 8.
To find "x", we can solve this equation.
Adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we get:
17 + 8 = (1/3)x
25 = (1/3)x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we have:
3 * 25 = 3 * (1/3)x
75 = x
Therefore, Susan read 75 pages yesterday.
According to the given information, 17 = (1/3)x - 8.
To find "x", we can solve this equation.
Adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we get:
17 + 8 = (1/3)x
25 = (1/3)x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, we have:
3 * 25 = 3 * (1/3)x
75 = x
Therefore, Susan read 75 pages yesterday.
Karen measured her height as 59 inches. That is 27 inches more than half her older sister’s height. How tall is her older sister?(1 point)
inches
inches
Let's assume the height of Karen's older sister is "x".
According to the given information, 59 = (1/2)x + 27.
To find "x", we can solve this equation.
Subtracting 27 from both sides of the equation, we get:
59 - 27 = (1/2)x
32 = (1/2)x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, we have:
2 * 32 = 2 * (1/2)x
64 = x
Therefore, Karen's older sister is 64 inches tall.
According to the given information, 59 = (1/2)x + 27.
To find "x", we can solve this equation.
Subtracting 27 from both sides of the equation, we get:
59 - 27 = (1/2)x
32 = (1/2)x
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, we have:
2 * 32 = 2 * (1/2)x
64 = x
Therefore, Karen's older sister is 64 inches tall.
