Question

Ayden can solve each math problem in 3 minutes and he can read each page in 1 minute. The number of pages Ayden read is twice the number of math problems he solved. and it took him 50 minutes to complete all of his homework. Determine the number of math problems Ayden solved and the number of pages he read.

Answer 1

Ayden solved 18 maths problems and read 36 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of maths problems Ayden solved

y represent the number of pages he read

According to the question,

3x + 1y = 90

y = 2x as no. of pages he read is twice the number of math problems

Substituting,

3x + 2x = 90

Solving for x, x = 18

So, Ayden solved 18 maths problems

Putting the value in equation y = 2x,

y = 36

So, Ayden read 36 pages
