Answer 1

What is the question?

Answer 2

Solution:

Let Ni Hua visited x  island and y peninsulas.

we are given that

Ni Hua went skydiving a total of 45 times in the 19 islands and peninsulas that he visited.

So we can write

$x+y=19......(i)$

$2x+3y=45....(ii)$

Now solve these two equations togethere using substitution  as below:

$2(19-y)+3y=45\\ \\ 38-2y+3y=45\\ \\ y=45-38\\ \\ y=7$

So we can write $x=19-7=12$

Hence Let Ni Hua visited 7  island and 12 peninsulas.
