Answer 1

Answer:

it will take 1/5 of a day for Amir to catch up to Jesse

Step-by-step explanation:

30x = 35x - 1

30x - 35x = - 1

-5x = -1

-5x/-5 = -1/-5

x = 1/5

Answer 2

Answer: brainliest pls

1. y = 35x

2. y = 30x + 1

3. y = 35x

   y = 30 x + 1

4. Its more convenient to substitute y because It's easier.

    35x = 30(x + 1)

5.  35x = 30x + 1

    35x = 30x + 30

    35x -30x = 30

    5x = 30

    x = 6    (30/5 = 6)

    35 x 6 = 210 (y)

6. Both people have read 210 pages and it takes amir 6 days to catch up.
