Step-by-step explanation:
If Jamie's age is represented as x and given that Ana is the same age as Jamie then, Ana's age can also be represented by x. The sum of their ages is equal to,
Sum of their ages = x + x
Simplifying,
Sum of their ages = 2x
Here is the equation: x+(x+20) = 120
Since you can't combine anything yet, its x+x+20=120
You need to get x by itself
Minus 20 from both sides
Its x+x=100 now
Combine the x's which is now 2x
Now divide 100 by 2 which is 50
x=50
---------------
Lets check:
50+(50+20)=120
Now combine the numbers in the parentheses
Its now 50+70=120
50+70=120 and 70-50=20
As you can see, he ran 50 minutes the first day and 70 minutes the second day
