Question

john has read the first 114 pages of a novel. He has read 3 pages less than one-third of the novel.Write an equation to describe the total number of pages p in the novel, and find the value of p. and how many pages are in the book

Answer 1

so "3 pages less than one-third of the novel" can be written algebraically as 1/3p - 3

sooo 114 = 1/3p - 3

Answer 2

thanks u so much

Answer 6

use the equation and solve for p

Answer 7

thanks

Answer 8

so the equation is 114 = 1/3p - 3. so we wanna get p by itself. what's our first step in doing that?

Answer 9

i got the answer it was 351
