Joey wants to read 2,000 pages by the end of the summer. He has already read 1,250 pages. The rest of his reading will be spread over 5 weeks, and Joey wants to read the same number of pages each week. How many pages will he need to read each week?

150 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

want to read 2,000 pages

already read 1,250 pages

Number of pages left to read

= 2000-1250

= 750

Rest of the reading spread over 5 weeks

wants to read same number of pages each week

Number of pages that need to be read each week over 5 weeks

= Number of pages left to read / total number of weeks

=750 / 5

= 150

He will need to read 150 pages a week.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
