Answer:

Tasha spent 25 minutes reading on Wednesday.

Tasha spent 42 minutes reading on Thursday.

Tasha spent 67 minutes reading on Wednesday and Thursday.

Explanation:

Tasha spent 25 minutes reading on Wednesday night,

Let W represents the time in minutes that Tasha spent reading on Wednesday night.

Mathematically,

W = 25 minutes

We also know that she spent 17 more minutes reading on Thursday than she did on Wednesday,

Let T represents the time in minutes that Tasha spent reading on Thursday night.

Mathematically,

T = W + 17 minutes

But W = 25 minutes

T = 25 + 17 minutes

T = 42 minutes

Total time spent reading on Wednesday and Thursday,

Total time = W + T

Total time = 25 + 42

Total time = 67 minutes

Therefore,

Tasha spent 25 minutes reading on Wednesday.

Tasha spent 42 minutes reading on Thursday.

Tasha spent 67 minutes reading on Wednesday and Thursday.
