Question: Jairus read 20 pages of the newspaper. Arniel read 2 more than twice the number of pages Jairus read. How many pages have they read altogether? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Twice the number of pages Jairus read is 20 x 2 = 40. Arniel read 40 + 2 = 42 pages of the newspaper. Jairus and Arniel read 20 + 42 = 62 pages altogether. So the answer is 62.
