Amy:  (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam:  (2 pages/min)(x min)  + 47 pages

Equate these:  3x+9 = 2x + 47

Then x = 38.  The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes.  How many pages would that be?  3(38)+9 = 123 pages.

What is the point of an object where the force of gravity is considered to act?
Luden [163]
Gravity always acts downward on every object on earth. Gravity multiplied by the object's mass produces a force called weight. Although the force of an object's weight acts downward on every particle of the object, it is usually considered to act as a single force through its balance point, or center of gravity.
