Answer 1

Answer:

6 Weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books read 22

3 books each week

4 books she hasn't read

22-4=18  18/3= 6 weeks

Answer 2

Answer:

Equation is 3x + 4 = 22

x = 6

Number of weeks she read is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of weeks she read.

Total number of books = 22

Each week she reads 3 books.

After x weeks the number of books left unread = 4

Number of books read in x weeks = 3x

Total number of books = number of books read in x weeks + number of books left unread after x weeks.

22 = 3x + 4

3x = 18

x = 6

Hence number of weeks she read is 6.
