the total number of pages Sammy has read so far

the number of pages Sammy reads each night



the total number of nights Sammy has been reading

Answer 2

sup bro ^_^

Answer 3

Do you have any idea how to answer these? let's break these down into parts. The first question is asking what the constant tells you.. To answer that, you must first be able to establish what the constant is. Can you identify that?

Answer 4

12x?

Answer 5

No :/ The constant is the number that is separate from a variable. Try again :D

Answer 6

228

Answer 7

Need more help bro?

Answer 8

Yeah i suck at these!

Answer 9

Yes! do you understand why?

Answer 10

And notice, it doesn't ask what it is, it asks what it represents. The constant never changes.. what would be the only number that would not change for that type of problem (remember, he's reading a book. what wouldn't change about that)

Answer 11

Umm..No!

Answer 12

well.. what don't you understand about it? :)

Answer 13

The total number of pages!

Answer 14

That obviously cant change!

Answer 15

yes! there you go! you got the first question done :D

Answer 16

Sammy reads the same number of pages from his book each night. The expression 228 – 12x shows how many pages he has left to read on any given night.



What does the number 12 in the second term represent?




the total number of pages Sammy has read so far



the total number of pages in Sammy's book



the number of pages Sammy reads each night



the total number of nights Sammy has been reading

Answer 17

Do you have any ideas for this one?

Answer 18

C could be it!

Answer 19

Your wrong :/

Answer 20

Yes it is! Do you understand why? :D

Answer 21

@Captain_America_Army he is not wrong.

Answer 22

Oh I thought IT was A

Answer 23

Okay well its A then.....B is wrong!

Answer 24

And C is as well!

Answer 25

Well thinking and knowing are two different things :D but everyone makes mistakes..

@PatrickWeeWoos it is not A..think about this. the 228 is for A.. so you can't have 2 of the same answer. You were correct when you said C.. do you understand why?

Answer 26

No 228 was for B

Answer 27

right my bad sorry XD I looked at the wrong line. lol

but that isn't the point. Do you understand why C, and only C, is correct?

Answer 28

No xD

Answer 29

Sammy reads the same number of pages from his book each night. The expression 228 – 12x shows how many pages he has left to read on any given night.



What does the term 12x represent?



the total number of pages Sammy has read so far



the total number of pages in Sammy's book



the number of pages Sammy reads each night



the total number of nights Sammy has been reading

Answer 30

well the 12 is being multiplied by a variable (x) so you know it's something that is happening over a change of time (for this example anyways). AND you also know the amount he reads every night is the same so it has to be a solid number, not a variable. Does that make sense?

Answer 31

I have to go, sorry! Good luck!

Answer 32

Mt answer choice is D!
