Question

Benny started reading a novel. If x represents the number of hours he read the novel and y represents the number of pages he read. Already, he had completed 60 pages and he is able to read 30 pages per hour. Try to predict the total number of pages which he completes after 3 hours.

Answer 1

Let x = hours and y = pages. The relation is y = 60 + 30x (60 already done + 30 pages/hour × hours). For x = 3:

y = 60 + 30(3) = 60 + 90 = 150 pages.
