Answer 1

Answer:

2 hours

Explanation:

32 pages + 3 pages (# of hours) = 38 pages

Convert words into variables

32p + 3(h) = 38p

Subtract 32 pages from both sides

3(h) = 6p

Multiply

3h = 6p

Divide by 3 on both sides

h = 2

It will take Harry 2 more hours to finish writing 38 pages

Hope this helps :)
