Answer:
34 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call M the number of hours that Maddie volunteered. Ryan volunteered 1 + 3×M hours, and altogether they volunteered 45 hours, so:
1 + 3×M + M = 45
1 + 4M = 45 Subtract 1 in both sides
4M = 44 Divide both sides by 4
M = 11 hours
So Maddie volunteered 11 hours, and Ryan volunteered
1 + 3×11 = 34 hours
