    Yes,

    12 days after Lou starts reading, they'll be on the same page

    Step-by-step explanation:

    36 is already read, 12 per day

    36 + 12d

    15 per day

    15d

    36 + 12d = 15d

    3d = 36

    d = 12

    On the 12th day after Lou starts they will be reading the same page

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sabrina:

    Write the equation for sabrina starting today

    36+12d

    Lou

    Write the equation for lou

    15d

    Set them equal

    36+12d = 15d

    Subtract 12d from each side

    36+12d-12d = 15d-12d

    36 = 3d

    Divide by 3

    36/3 = 3d/3

    12 = d

    On the 12th day after Lou starts they will be reading the same page
