Let

x--------> the number of pages in Jackie’s report

y--------> the number of pages in Kane’s  report

we know that

[tex]x=\frac{y}{2}+5[/tex] ---------> equation [tex]1[/tex]

[tex]y=14[/tex] ---------> equation [tex]2[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in equation [tex]1[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{14}{2}+5[/tex]

[tex]x=7+5[/tex]

[tex]x=12\ pages[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]12\ pages[/tex]
