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,
<span><span> 1. </span><span> 5(y) + 2 = 20</span></span>
<span><span>2. </span><span> 5y = 20 – 2</span></span>
<span><span> 3. </span><span> 5y = 18</span></span>
<span><span>4. </span><span> Y = 18 / 5</span></span>
<span><span> 5. </span><span> Y = 3.6</span></span>
<span><span> 6. </span><span> 5y = 5(3.6)</span></span>
<span><span> 7. </span><span> Annie = 18</span></span>
Hence, Annie traveled 18 hours while Brian traveled 3.6
hours.
