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? A. the total number of pages Sammy has read so far B. the total number of pages in Sammy’s book C. the number of pages Sammy reads each night D. the total number of nights Sammy has been reading

OpenStudy (yuii):

C?

OpenStudy (the.lit.owl_23):

think the answer to your question is B, the total number of pages in Sammy's book.

OpenStudy (yuii):

Are you sure? Could you explain to me how you got that answer?

OpenStudy (the.lit.owl_23):

The constant is the number that stands by itself? So... B? he read 12 pages per night

OpenStudy (the.lit.owl_23):

soooo it's B :)

OpenStudy (yuii):
