Two students are reading a novel. Ashley reads 10 pages per day. Carly reads 8 pages per day, but she starts early and is already on page 40.

d=days
p=pages

Ashley: p=10d
Carly: p=8d+40

On day , both girls should be on page .

On day 20, they should both be on page 200

Step-by-step explanation:

I set the 2 equations up:

10d=8d+40 and then subtracted 8d from both sides

2d=40 and then divided both sides by 2

d=20

I then took 20 and multiplied it by 10 for Ashley (200) and then multiplied it by 8 for Carly (160) and added 40 (200)

Hope this helps!
