Victoria read a 160-page historical fiction novel followed by a science fiction novel of the exact same length. Her average reading speed of the science fiction novel was 2 pages per hour more than her average reading speed of the historical fiction novel.

Victoria models her novel reading marathon with the following expression, where x represents her average reading speed of the historical fiction novel.

What does x + 2 represent in this situation?

a. the number of pages of the science fiction novel

b. the average reading speed of the historical fiction novel

c. the average reading speed of the science fiction novel

d. the total time taken to read the novels

Answer 1

Correct Answer: Option C

x represents Victoria's average reading speed of the historical fiction novel. Her average reading speed of the science fiction novel was 2 pages per hour more than her average reading speed of the historical fiction novel. So, if average reading speed of the historical fiction novel is x, the average reading speed of the science fiction novel will be x + 2.

Therefore, x+2 represents the average reading speed of the science fiction novel
