John read the first 114 pages of a novel, which was 3 pages less than 1/3 of the novel. write an equation to determine the total number of pages (p) in the novel. and find the total number of pages in the novel

351

Step-by-step explanation:

If we add 3 pages to 114, we get a number that is the total number of pages in the novel (p). Thus, we can write:

Solving for p gives us the total number of pages in the novel. So:

Thus, total number of pages in the novel is 351.

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
