Question

Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.

How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?

Answer the questions to solve this problem using a system of equations.

Answer 1

Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.
Answer:35x=y

Answer 2

Using x, the number of days Amir has been reading, write an expression to represent the number of days Jesse has been reading. Remember that Jesse started reading one day before Amir. Use this expression to write an equation for the number of pages Jesse has read. Let y represent the number of pages read.
Answer:(35x-5x)+30=y

thats how its supposed to look like

Answer 14

- my idea

Jesse start on Saturday with 30 pages a day so in 5 days (for example ) read 150 pages

Amir start on Sunday with 35 pages a day so on this (5-1=4) days will read 4*35=140 pages

so in 10 days Jesse read 10*30 = 300 pages
what mean for Amir 10-1=9 days = 9*35 = 315 pages

- any idea now about these above ?

Answer 15

is that for the 3rd question?

Answer 16

Did you find the answer? he will have to read more than thirty pages on sunday because jesse already read 60 pages
