Ответ:
328 pages for the novel
123 pages for the second day
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pages of the novel = x
Raw Equation
(1/4)x + 1/2 (3/4)x + 123 = x
Solution
(1/4)x + (3/8)x+ 123 = x
Change the fractions to common denominators.
(2/8)x + (3/8)x + 123 = x
Add the fractions.
(2/8 + 3/8)x + 123 = x
Subtract (5/8)x from both sides.
(5/8)x + 123 = x
(5/8)x- (5/8)x + 123 = x - (5/8)x
Multiply both sides by 8
123 = (3/8)x
123 * 8 = 3x
Divide by 3
984 = 3x
984/3 = 3x / 3
328 = x
At the end of the second day, she read 3/8 * 328 = 123 pages.
