Number of pages of a 5 page articile left to read if you read p pages.
5-p=?
?... what's that supposed to be?~
You can use another variable there, such as x if you want. That's as far as you can get the equation with the information given.
5/p=...
To find the number of pages of a 5-page article left to read when you have already read p pages, you can use the following formula:
Pages left = Total number of pages - Pages read
In this case, you have a 5-page article, so the total number of pages is 5. Let's plug that into the formula:
Pages left = 5 - Pages read
For example, if you have read 2 pages, the calculation would be:
Pages left = 5 - 2 = 3
This means there are 3 pages left to read.
You can calculate the number of pages left using this formula for any value of "p" pages read. Just substitute the value of "p" into the formula and perform the subtraction.
