Respuesta :

Answer:

84+12x=92+8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

the answer is C. 84+12x=92+x

Step-by-step explanation:

x equals the amount of days they'd have to read

Tom has already read 84 pages and decided to read 12 pages a day (total 84+12x)

Margie has already read 92 pages and has decided to read 8 pages a day (total 92+8x)

Both are reading the same book therefore have the same amount of pages to read in order to finish the book (84+12x=92+8x)

Hope this helps. Have a nice day
