Let the number of houses the boys deliver newspaper = x

Matthew delivers 2x newspapers

His brother delivers x newspapers,

Matthew earns per paper = $0.10

Matthew delivers twice a week so he earns = 0.10\times2=0.20

His brother earns per newspaper = $0.25

So, equation becomes,

0.20x+0.25x=13.95

0.45x=13.95

x=31

So, there are 31 houses where both these boys deliver newspapers.

Hence, Matthew delivers 2*31= 62 newspapers

His brother delivers 31 newspapers.

So, option A : Matthew: 62 papers; brother: 31 papers is the right option.
