If jayden is reading a 275 page book and can read 10 pages in 15 minutes, skim through 15 pages in 10 minutes, and finishes the book in 5 hours and 50 minutes (reading and skimming combined), how many pages did jayden have to skim through?

Jayden skimmed through 75 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayden is reading 275 page book.

Let Jyden read number of pages = x

and skimmed through pages = (275 -x)

Since Jayden read 10 pages in 15 minutes.

So time taken to read x pages = minutes

and Jayden skim through 15 pages in 10 minutes

So time taken to skim (275-x) pages = × (275-x)

Now we know Jayden took total time to read and skim the book = 5 hours and 50 minutes.

so

Multiply equation by 15.

22.5x + 10(275-x) = 350×15

22.5x + 2750 - 10x = 5250

12.5x = 5250 - 2750

12.5x = 2500

x =

x = 200

Pages skimmed through = 275 - 200 = 75

Therefore, pages read by Jayden is 200 pages and skim through 75 pages.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
