Q. This equation shows how the total pages of notes in Cassie's notebook depends on the number of hours she spends in class.p=h+17The variable h represents the hours she spends in class, and the variable p represents the total pages of notes taken. After attending 3 hours of class, how many total pages of notes will Cassie have in her notebook?_____ pages
Identify Variable: Identify the variable that 3 hours of class corresponds to.h represents the hours spent in class.So, 3 hours gives the value for h.
Substitute Value: We know that h=3.Plug in the value for h in p=h+17.p = h + 17Substitute h with 3.p = 3 + 17
Solve for Total Pages:p=3+17. Solve for p. p=3+17=20 Therefore, the total pages of notes Cassie will have is 20.
