Question

Aidan read 5 pages for every 3 pages

Answer 1

• Let mark read x pages
• Aiden read=x+14

Now

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5:3=x+14:x$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{x+14}{x}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x=3(x+14)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x=3x+42$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 5x-3x=42$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2x=42$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{42}{2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x=21$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto x+14=21+14=35$
