Both will be at the same page after 6.5 days and the page number will be 180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let after x days Nora and Lila will be at the same page.
Nora is on page 128 and plans to read 8 pages per day until the next club meeting.
After x days Nora will be at the page number = 128 + 8x
Similarly, Lila is on page 102 and she reads 12 pages per day.
After x days Lila will be on page number = 102 + 12x
Since after x days they will be at the same page
Therefore, 128 + 8x = 102 + 12x
12x - 8x = 128 - 102
4x = 26
x =
x = 6.5 days
Page number they will be on = 128 + 8(6.5)
= 128 + 52
= 180
Both will be at the same page after 6.5 days and the page number will be 180.
