Answer 1

In order to solve this mathematical problem we can first consolidate and observe the given values and the values that are not known in the stated problem. Annie traveled 5 times the sum of the number of hours Brian traveled and 2. Together they traveled 20 hours. Find the numbers.
Equation,
1.  5(y) + 2 = 20
2.  5y = 20 – 2
3.  5y = 18
4.  Y = 18 / 5
5.  Y = 3.6
6.  5y = 5(3.6)
7.  Annie = 18
Hence, Annie traveled 18 hours while Brian traveled 3.6 hours.
