At the end of May, Janet told Sam that she has read 10 books this year and reads 2 books each month. Sam wants to catch up to Janet. He tracks his book reading with a table on his door. Using his table below, what month will Sam have read the same amount of books as Janet?

March of next year. If he reads 3 books every month, after 10 months he will catch up to her at 30 books. Janet will be at 20 books starting from June plus the 10 she read before.
