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 .

I uploaded the answer to a file hosting. Here's link:

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!

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
