Question

Tom exercise a total of 150 minutes in two days he exercise 20 minutes less on the first day then on the second day how many minutes did he exercise each day?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

60 on the first day and 80 on the second

Explanation:

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

so the second day was more than the first day by 20 minutes.
