How do I translate this into an equation mathmatically:?

Question

Skip had eight fewer job interviews than Woody. Together they had 20 interviews. How many interviews did they each have?

Answer 1

ok lets say woody has x job interviews and skip has eight fewer jobs than him so that would be x-8 together they had 20 interviews so          x+x-8=20 2x-8=20 2x=28 x=14 so woody had 14 job interviews and 14-8=6 so skip had 6 job interviews
