Answer: 14 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours of TV that Jamie watched be represented by x.
Since Roberto watched 5 more hours of tv than Jamie last week, therefore the number of hours of TV that Roberto watched will be: x + 5
Together, they watched a total of 23 hours of tv last week. Therefore,
x + (x + 5) = 23
2x + 5 = 23
2x = 23 - 5
2x = 18
x = 18/2
x = 9
Jamie watched 9 hours of TV
Therefore, Roberto watched x+ 5 = 9 + 5 = 14 hours
