Aturtle fell to the bottom of a deep well. the turtle climbed up 2 meters on the first day, but slipped back 1 meter as he rested. the second day, the turtle climbed double the distance of the previous day, but slipped and lost ½ of the day’s climbed distance as he rested. this pattern continued until the end of the fourth day, when the turtle realized he was halfway to the top of the well. how deep was the well?

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

if you was gonna solve for a, a is a   < -12
