Question 363325: albert is reading a 200 page book and would like to finish it in two days. if he reads 50 more on the second day than first day how much did he read on each day? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let f = # pages read on the first day. Then f+ 50 = # pages read on the 2nd day. then f+f+50 = 200, or 2f + 50 = 200, 2f = 150, f = 75. He read 75 pages on the first day, and 125 pages on the 2nd day.
