Jay’s favorite book is 182 pages less than three times Mitchel’s favorite book. If both books have hw same number of pages, how many pages are in Jay’s favorite book?

Respuesta :

x = Mitchel's favorite book

3x - 182 = x

    + 182       +182

3x = x + 182

-x     -x

2x = 182

x = 91


3(91) - 182

273 - 182

91 = Jay's favorite book
