Answer:

2p+2+p = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of Math problems Hayden completed.

Let 2p+2 represent the number of Math problems Jamie completed.

Next, we have to add them together so that the total Math problems they completed will be equal to 20.

Let's solve.

  • 2p+2+p = 20
  • 3p+2 = 20
  • 3p = 20-2
  • 3p = 18
  • p = [tex]\frac{18}{3}[/tex]
  • p = 6

Therefore, Hayden completed 6 Math problems.

Next, we have to get how many problems Jamie completed.

Let's solve.

  • 2p+2 = ?
  • 2(6)+2 = ?
  • 12+2 = ?
  • 14

Therefore, Jamie completed 14 Math problems.

Let's check.

  • 2p+2+p = 20
  • 14+6 = 20
  • 20 = 20

It's correct!
