You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +c+ = number of calories in the ice cream
+c+%2B+20+ = number of calories in the pie
given:
+c+%2B+c+%2B+20+=+600+
+2c+=+600+-+20+
+2c+=+580+
+c+=+290+
+c+%2B+20+=+310+
There are 290 calories in the ice cream
There are 310 calories in the pie
check:
+290+%2B+310+=+600+
+600+=+600+
OK
