Answer 1

Jeff practiced for one hour on Thursday.

Explanation:

1 hour on Monday + 1 hour on Tuesday + 1 x 2 hours on Wednesday + X number on Thursday = 5 hours.

Add the amount of hours practiced on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday up and subtract that amount from 5 (total amount of hours) to see how much he practiced on Thursday.
