Answer 1

Answer: 39 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the amount of pages Tom read

$2x+12=90\\2x=78\\\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{78}{2}\\x=39$

Answer 2

If Sue read 90 pages, which is 12 more than twice the amount, subtract 12 from 90, then divide the result by 2, boom, you got your answer. Which should be 39
