In order to solve this mathematical problem we can first consolidate and observe the given values and the values that are not known in the stated problem. Annie traveled 5 times the sum of the number of hours Brian traveled and 2. Together they traveled 20 hours. Find the numbers.
Equation,
1. 5(y) + 2 = 20

2. 5y = 20 – 2
3.
5y = 18

4. Y = 18 / 5
5.
Y = 3.6

6.
5y = 5(3.6)

7.
Annie = 18

Hence, Annie traveled 18 hours while Brian traveled 3.6 hours.
