    First, an equation for the total number of days required to write her paper:

    Total = 1493 words + (269 words/day) (x) = 3376 words.

    Simplifying, (269 words/day) x = 3376 words - 1493 words

    If you solve this linear equation, you'll find that x = 7. That means Amy can finish her paper in 7 days.
