PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

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?

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.

2. Write an equation to represent the number of pages Jesse has read.

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.

3. Write the system of equations using your answers from questions 1 and 2.

4. You will use substitution to solve this system. Which variable will you substitute for and why? Show the equation that results from the substitution.

5. Solve the system of equations. Show your work.

The answer is 6 days.

210 Pages

STEP-BY-STEP:

Amir has been reading X and the pages is Y

Now since he reads 35 pages per day

mathematically it's: y = 35x

For Jesse, he started to read a day before:

Days he read would be x + 1.

Since he reads 30 per day the total number of pages is

30(x+1)

So it's y = 30(x+1)

Now The Work:

35x = 30(x+1)
35x = 30x + 30
35x -30x = 30
5x = 30
x = 30/5
x = 6 Days

It will take Amir 6 days to catch to Jesse

35 * 6 or 30(6+1) = 210
