Jenny and Mark are reading the same book for their English class. Currently Jenny has read 50 pages and plans to read 15 more pages
per day. Mark hasn't started reading yet, but he plans to read 20
pages per day. Eventually, Mark should pass Jenny in the number of
pages read. Once they have read the same number of pages, how
many days would have passed?
Enter your answer as an integer

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny has read 50 pages and will read 15 each day.

The equation would be: 15x+50

Mark will read 20 pages daily.

The equation would be: 20x

In both equations x represents days.

You set both equal to each other because you want to know when they read the same amount of pages.

15x+50=20x

...you subtract 15x from both sides

50=5x

...and divide by five to get: 10 days

they are simplified

step-by-step explanation:

i don't know, but that looks pretty bad. my school passed us unless we failed in all the subjects, but idk abt ur school's rules.
