Wren and Jenni are reading the same book. Wren is on page 14 and reads 2 pages every night.

Question

Jenni is on page 6 and reads 3 pages every night.

After how many nights will they have read the same number of pages?

Answer 1

Wren reads 2 pages every night, so after n nights, he will have read 2n pages.
Jenni reads 3 pages every night, so after n nights, she will have read 3n pages.
We want to find the value of n when 2n = 3n.
Subtracting 2n from both sides of the equation gives us: 0 = n.
This means that they will have read the same number of pages after 0 nights.
