Answer 65 and 85 minutes
Reason
We know he exercised for 2 days
We know the second day was -20
We know the total minutes = 150
We don’t know x

Equation is 2x -20 = 150. Solve for x
Isolate x by subtracting (-20) from both sides.
2x = 170. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 2.
X= 85
Now we know the first day was (-20)
85-20= 65

Answer 85 + 65 = 150

60 on the first day and 80 on the second

Explanation:

the first day was lesser than the second day by 20 minutes.
