    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can write Bailey's equation as:

    29 + 1.50x

    and Riley's equation as:

    20 + 2x

    Where

    x is the number of magazines sold

    Since Riley sold 12, her total pay for that day would be:

    20 + 2x

    20 + 2 (12)

    20 + 24

    $44

    Now, how many magazines Bailey need to sell? We equate Bailey's equation to 44 and find x:

    29 + 1.5x = 44

    1.5x = 44 - 29

    1.5x = 15

    x = 15/1.5

    x = 10

    hence, Bailey need to sell 10 magazines to make same money as Riley
