Answer:

t = 20 + q (minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The meeting consists of speaking and Question & Answer (Q&A) sessions.

Speaking session = 20 minutes

Q&A session = q minutes

Total number of minutes spent for the two sessions = 20 + q (minutes)

But total number of minutes meeting lasted = t minutes.

Therefore, t = 20 + q (because they both represent the total number of minutes the meeting lasted)
