2. Write an equation to represent the number of pages Jesse has read.

Using x, the number of days Amir has been reading, write an expression to represent the number of days Jesse has been reading. Remember that Jesse started reading one day before Amir. Use this expression to write an equation for the number of pages Jesse has read. Let y represent the number of pages read.

3. Write the system of equations using your answers from questions 1 and 2.
