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?
Let's think step by step below.
62
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.

Thus, the answer is 62
