Answer:

Stephanie read more than 7 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation y= 8x

First, lets break down the equation given.

  • y represents the total amount of points.
  • x represents each book read.

Since Stephanie gained a total of 72 points, then y = 72. The value of x is unknown and is the value that we need to figure out as it will tell us how many books Stephanie read.

72= 8x

Simply divide both sides by 8.

[tex]\frac{72}{8} =\frac{8x}{8}[/tex]

[tex]9=x[/tex]

Remember, x represents each book read. Stephanie read 9  books. So, Stephanie read more than 7 books.
