Answer:

Ayden Solved 10 math problem and read 20 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of Math Problem solved be x.

Also Let the Number of Pages he read be y.

Given:

The number of pages Ayden read is twice the number of math problems he solved.

Hence equation can be framed as;

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

Also Given:

Ayden can solve each math problem in 3 minutes and he can read each page in 1 minute and it took him 50 minutes to complete all of his homework.

Hence the equation can be framed as;

[tex]3x+y=50[/tex]

Now Substituting the value of y in above equation we get;

[tex]3x+y=50\\3x+2x=50\\5x=50\\x=\frac{50}{5}=10[/tex]

Now Substituting the value of y to find the value of x we get;

[tex]x=2y = 2\times 10=20[/tex]

Hence Ayden Solved 10 math problem and read 20 pages.
