    The answer to your question is Equation B (x) = 45 - 5x; 9 days

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Total pages = 58

    Pages read = 13

    Pages read each day = 5

    Equation = ?

    Number of days = ?

    Process

    1. - Calculate the number of pages do not read yet

    58 - 13 = 45

    2. - Write the equation that modeles this problem, considering the number of pages read every day and x, number of days

    B (x) = 45 - 5x

    3. - Solve for x

    45 - 5x = 0

    45 = 5x

    x = 45/5

    x = 9 days
