Juan and Houa are reading the same book. At the beginning of the month, Juan was on page 45 and Houa was on page 9. Juan will read 15 pages per day and Houa will read 18 pages per day. Let J represent the page of the book that Juan is on at the end of t days into the month, and let H represent the page of the book that Houa is on at the end of t days into the month. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t, and determine what page Juan and Houa will be on on the day they are both on the same page.



Answer :

The page they will be on is 225.

What page will they be on?

The page that both Juan and Houa would be on at the end of the month is a function of the page they are at the beginning of the month and the page they read per day.

Pages they are in t days:

J = 45 + 15t

H = 9 + 18t

When they are on the same page, both equations would be equal

45 + 15t = 9 + 18t

45 - 9 = 18t - 15t

36 = 3t

t = 36 / 3

t = 12

Page they would be in 12 days: 45 + 15(12)

45 + 180 = 225
