Question

Last week Michael practices shooting free throws for 2 hours longer than gen. Together Michael and gen practiced shooting free throws for 12 hours how many hours did they each practice last week?

Answer 1

Michael (m) practiced 7 hours and Gen (g) practiced 5

g+m+2=12

-2 -2

g+m=10

10 divided by 2 is 5

They both practiced free throws for 5 hours. Michael practiced two hours more that Gen. 5+2=7. Therefore, Michael (m) practiced 7 hours and Gen (g) practiced 5.
