\

Let y is the number of pages and x is the number of days.

\

The word $\"\"$ the product of rate of studied by Alberto (20)and number of days plus Alberto $\"\"$ s studied pages 35 $\"\"$ represents $\"\"$ .

\

The number of pages studied by Alberto is $\"\"$ .

\

The word $\"\"$ the product of rate of studied by Ashanti (10) and number of days plus Ashanti $\"\"$ s studied pages 85 $\"\"$ represents $\"\"$ .

\

The number of pages studied by Alberto is $\"\"$ . $\"\"$

\

Graph the equations on the coordinate plane which contain number of days on the x - coordinate and number of pages on the y - axis, and find the intersection point.

\

$\"graph$

\

The graphs appear intersect at $\"\"$ . So, Alberto will have read more pages than Ashanti after 5 days. $\"\"$

\

Check the solution:

\

Check the solution by substituting the coordinates in each equation.

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in equation 1: $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

The statement is true. $\"\"$

\

Substitute $\"\"$ in equation 2: $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ .

\

The statement is true. $\"\"$

\

The solution are

\

(a) Equations are Alberto: $\"\"$ and Ashanti: $\"\"$ .

\

(b) The equations $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ and their graph is

\

$\"graph$

\

(c) Alberto will have read more pages than Ashanti after 5 days.
