Lilla read 1/5 of her book last week. this week she read 3 times as much as she read last week. a. write an expression to show how much of her book lilla has left to read. then simplify the expression. b. there are 75 pages in lilla's book. how many pages does she have left to read? show your work. solution:

she has 30 pages left to read.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of pages in the book which Lilla is reading.

Lilla read 1/5 of her book last week. This means that the number of pages that she read last week is

1/5 × x = x/5

This week she read 3 times as much as she read last week. This means that the number of pages that she read this week is

3 × x/5 = 3x/5

The number of pages that she has left to read would be

x - 3x/5

= (5x - 3x)/5 = 2x/5

b. There are 75 pages in Lilla's book. It means that the number of pages that she has left to read would be

(2 × 75)/5 = 150/5

= 30
