Answer 1

Latisha will take the lead after 11 nights.

Latisha :

is on page 30.

She reads 3 pages per night.(n)

Number of pages read by Latiisha: 30+3n

Salis:

is on page 40

Reads 2 pages per night.

Number of pages read by Salis: 40+2n

We have to write an inequality.

Latisha > Salis

30+3n > 40+2n

Where n is the number of nights.

Solving for n:

30+3n > 40+2n

3n-2n >40-30

n>10

n must be higher than 10, = 11

Latisha will take the lead after 11 nights.
