jeanette and carlos are participating in a novel - writing challenge. jeanette has already started her novel and has written 48 pages so far. she will write an additional 4 pages each week. carlos is just getting started, and he will write 10 pages each week. which equation can you use to find w, the number of weeks it will take for carlos to write as many pages as jeanette? 48 + 4w = 10w 48 + 10w = 4w how long will it take for carlos to have written as many pages as jeanette? weeks
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Set up equations for Jeanette and Carlos
Jeanette's pages: (48 + 4w) (48 initial pages plus 4 per week). Carlos's pages: (10w) (10 per week).
Step2: Equate the two expressions
Set (48+4w = 10w).
Step3: Solve for (w)
Subtract (4w) from both sides: (48=10w - 4w), so (48 = 6w). Then divide both sides by 6: (w=\frac{48}{6}=8).
Answer:
The equation is (48 + 4w=10w) and it will take (8) weeks.
