Question

Two students are reading a book.

Keith reads 6 pages a day. Tameka
reads 5 pages a day, but he starts
sooner and has already read 15 pages.
Part A
Write a system of equations to
represent the situation, using d for
days and p for pages.

Answer 1

P because if it’s 15 for one day and you need 6 a day it’s betting the one person so P!

Answer 2

P = 6d ; P = 5d + 15
Explanation:
Given that :
Keith = 6 pages per day
Tameka = 5 pages per day
Tameka has already read 15 pages
If d = Number of days ; p = pages read
Keith :
Pages read, p = pages read per day * Number of days, d
P = 6d
Tameka :
Pages read, p = (pages read per day * Number of days, d) + pages read already
P = 5d + 15
