man science problems. How many problems do you have in each subject?

Answer 1

16 science problems

26 math problems

Explanation:

m = number of math problems

s = number of science problems

m = s + 10

m + s = 42

(s + 10) + s = 42

2s + 10 = 42

2s = 42 - 10 = 32

s = 32/2 = 16

m = s + 10 = 16 + 10 = 26
