    17 hours and 3 hours.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume that Annie travels x hours and Brian y hours.

    Then given that x = 5y+2

    Together they travelled = total hours of both = x+y

    Substitute x = 5y+2 in the total distance.

    We have an equation in a single variable y as

    = 5y+y+2 = 20

    Simplify to get

    6y+2 = 20

    subtract 2

    6y = 18

    Divide by 6

    y = 3

    x = 5y+2

    = 5 (3) + 2=17 hours

    Annie traveled 17 hours and Brian 5 hours.
