Ellie read 30 pages of her social studies book in 1.5 hours at a constant rate. she then switched to reading a novel and read 150 pages in 2 hours at a constant rate. wh at percent of ellie’s social studies reading rate is her novel reading rate?

Social Studies rate, S = 30/ 1.5 = 20pages/hr

Novel rate, N = 150/2 = 75pages/hr

Novel rate as a % of Social Studies rate...

N/S × 100% = 75/20 × 100% = 375%

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
