As of today, Sam has read one-fifth of a 540-page book and Michael has read one-fourth of the same book. Starting tomorrow, Sam will read another one-tenth of the book each day and Michael will read another one-fifteenth each day. After how many days will Sam have read more pages than Michael?

sam has already read 1/5 of 540 pages
he will read 1/10 of 540 pages per day
by the x-th day, he will read (1/5)*540+(1/10)(540)*x pages
does this make sense to you ?
