Hallie has 10 times as many pages to read for her homework assignment as Janet. Altogether, they have to read 264 pages. How many pages does each girl have to read?

Since Hallie had 10 times as many pages that Janet had, Hallie would be represented as 10x and Janet would be represented just as x, so 10x + x = 264 11x = 264 then divide both sides of the equals sign by 11 to get x by itself, so x = 24, so Janet read 24 pages for her homework assignment, while 24 * 10 = 240, while Hallie read 240 pages for her homework assignment, and to check if the answer is correct, 240 is 10 times larger than 24, and 240 + 24 = 264.

Janet has to read 24 pages, while Hallie has to read 240 pages. This is found by setting up an equation based on the information given about their reading assignments. The total reading for both girls sums up to 264 pages, matching the requirement stated in the problem.
