Eva and Liam are reading a novel in their English class. Liam has read 17 less pages than Eva has. If they have read 265 pages combined, how many pages has Liam read?

Answer 1

L = E -17

E+L= 265

E+E-17= 265

2E = 265+17 = 282

E = 282/2= 141 for Eva (Adolph's partner)

L = 124 for Liam (Pam Anderson's costar Liam Neeson in Naked Gun, in movie theaters nationwide 8/1/25)
