First let's define variables:
 r: reading
 s: skimming
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
 r + s = 275
 (15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
 We solve the system of equations:
 r = 206
 s = 69
 Note: see attached image for system solution.
 Answer: 
 Jayden had to skim 69 pages through

Systems of equations, help please?
lord [1]
4x + 3y = 54 (1)
3x + 9y = 108 (2)

Multiply (1) by (-3)
-12x - 9y = -162 
3x + 9y = 108
---------------------add
-9x  =  -54
   x = 6

plug x = 6 into (1) to find y
4(6) + 3y = 54
24 + 3y = 54
3y = 30
  y = 10

Answer
(6 , 10)

Hope it helps.
