Brandon and Casho are reading the same book. At the beginning of the month,
Brandon was on page 12 and Casho was on page 40. Brandon will read 10 pages per
day and Casho will read 8 pages per day. Let B represent the page of the book that
Brandon is on at the end of t days into the month, and let C represent the page of the
book that Casho is on at the end of t days into the month. Write an equation for each
situation, in terms of t, and determine what page Brandon and Casho will be on on
the day they are both on the same page.

Answer :

Answer:

Part A:

B = 10x + 12

C = 8x + 40

Part B:

Day 14

Step-by-step explanation:

B = 10x + 12

C = 8x + 40

Combine them to make:

10x + 12 = 8x + 40

Simplify to get:

2x = 28

x = 14

On day 14, they will both be on the same page.
