Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerome has already read 50 pages of a novel and read p pages each day from Monday to Friday.
If Jerome read at least 85 pages by the end of Friday, inequality will be,
50 + 5p ≥ 85
If Jerome reads 6 pages each day,
For p = 6,
Inequality will be,
50 + 5(6) ≥ 85
80 ≥ 85
It's not true.
Therefore, he will not meet his goal.
If p = 7,
Inequality will be,
50 + 5(7) ≥ 85
85 ≥ 85
It's true.
Therefore, he will meet his goal.
If p = 8,
Inequality will be,
50 + 5(8) ≥ 85
90 ≥ 85
It's true.
Therefore, he will meet his goal.
