Question:
Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.
How many days will it take Amir to catch up to Jesse, and how many pages will they each have read?
Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read. Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.
Answer:
It will take 6 days
Step-by-step explanation:
For Jesse:
This implies that Jesse will cover 30y in y days
For Amir:
This implies that Amir will cover 35x in x days
Because Amir starts a day later,
So, we have the following equations:
To get the number of days when they read the same number of pages, we have:
Substitute values for Jesse and Amir
Substitute x + 1 for y

To answer this question with the choices given, you would substitute the possible answers into your work for the base and the height of each dimension on the entire campground.
To find the length of the campground, you multiply each choice by 5 because there are 5 campsites.
For the width, you add each choice to 4.
Then you multiply the total length by the total width to see if your answer is 950 square yards.
See the attached picture for all the work.
