Mika read a 405 page book in 6 hours. how many pages per minute did she read?

1.125 pages per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Mika read a 405 page book in 6 hours.

6 hours is equivalent to

6 × 60 minutes = 360 minutes

Number of pages read per minute = 405/360

                                                         = 9/8 = 1.125 pages

Mika read 1.125 pages per minute.

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
