Respuesta :

Answer:

John: 19

Jack: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Jack = 9

John = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the  number  that  Jack  solved  =  N

Then John solved  2N +  1

So

N  + 2N +  1  =   28

3N   =  28  -  1

3N  =   27

N =  27  / 3    =  9   =   number Jack solved

2(9) + 1   =  19  =  number John solved
