Indigo and Carson are reading the same book. At the beginning of the month, Indigo was on page 2 and Carson was on page 34. Indigo will read 18 pages per day and Carson will read 14 pages per day. Let II represent the page of the book that Indigo is on at the end of tt days into the month, and let CC represent the page of the book that Carson is on at the end of tt days into the month. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t,t, and determine whether Indigo or Carson is farther along in the book after 11 days.

Answer:

Indigo = 2 +18t

Carson = 34 + 14t

At day 11, t = 11 so

Indigo at day 11 = 200

Carson at day 11 = 188

Indigo will be farther along
