Last monday two law students met up at cafe literatura after school to read in the legal methods class. alejandro can read 1 page per minute, and he has read 28 pages so far. carly, who has a readind speed of 2 pages per minutes, has read 12 pages so far.

part a: define the varibles and write two equations to represent the number of pages that each student reads

varible:
alejandro:
carly:

Variable:   x ( total time )

Alejandro:

Carly:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Alejandro can read 1 page per minute.

He has read 28 pages so far.

Carly can read 2 pages per minutes and has read 12 pages so far.

Solution :

Let x denotes the time taken by each student.

Variable = x

Since Alejandro can read page in 1 minute = 1

He can read 28 pages in x minutes .

Since he read total 28 pages . So, equation becomes :

Since Carly can read 2 pages per minutes.

He has read 12 pages in x minutes

So, equation becomes :

Variable:   x ( total time )

Alejandro:

Carly:

the correct answer is 45x

9×5=45 then add the x
