Last Wednesday, two friends met up after school to read the book they were both assigned in Literature class. Beth can read 3 pages per minute, and she had already read 16 pages. Joseph, who has a reading speed of 2 pages per minute, had read 26 pages. Eventually,

they had read the same number of pages. How long did that take? How many pages had each of them read?

    3x + 16 = 2x + 26

    -2x - 2x

    x + 16 = 26

    - 16 - 16

    x = 10 min

    3 (10) + 16

    46

    2 (10) + 26

    46

    Both read 46
