Drew starts a book that has 474 pages. He finishes the book in 6 days. He reads 48 pages on each of the first 2 days. He reads 125 pages on each of the next 2 days. He reads p pages on each of the last 2 days. Which equation can be used to find p, the number of pages Drew reads on each of the last 2 days?

• 48 + 125 + p = 474

• (48 × 2) + (125 × 2) + p = 474
