John read the first 114114114 pages of a novel, which was 333 pages less than \dfrac13 3 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction of the novel. write an equation to determine the total number of pages (p)(p)left parenthesis, p, right parenthesis in the novel.

Respuesta :

The first thing we must do for this case is to define a variable.
 We have then:
 p: number of total pages of the novel.
 We now write the equation for p.
 We have then:
 (1/3) p - 3 = 114
 Answer:
 
An equation to determine the total number of pages (p) in the novel is:
 (1/3) p - 3 = 114

The equation
