Steven has to read 18 pages of his new book on Tuesday.
Let x be the number of pages to solve for the pages Steven has to read.
Steven read 9 pages of his new book on Monday, so the value of x = 9.
Since Steven has to read double the pages Tuesday compared to the number of pages he read on Monday, It can be written as x times 2 or 2(x).
Substitute the value of x
2(x) = 2(9) = 18.
