Final answer:

Zayed completed 4 objectives and Mohamed completed 10 objectives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of objectives completed by Zayed.

Therefore, the number of objectives completed by Mohamed is x+6.

Together, they completed 14 objectives, so we can write the equation:

x + (x+6) = 14

Combining like terms, the equation becomes:

2x + 6 = 14

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:

2x = 8

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

x = 4

So Zayed completed 4 objectives and Mohamed completed 4 + 6 = 10 objectives.
