Answer:
x = -11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 7 = 3x - 2x - 18
2x - 7 = x - 18
collect like terms
2x - x = 7 - 18
x = -11

Hope this helps!
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.
If they proportional, it implies
(x+2)/(x-1) = 8/10
Or 10x +20 = 8x-8
Or 2x = -28 or x = -14
