    Explanation

    First, since we're talking about minutes, convert 3 hr into minutes: 3X60 = 180 minutes Let x = minutes spent on a non-math problem then, 2x = minutes spent on a math problem Here, x(200-50) + 2x(50) = 180 x(150) + 2x(50) = 180 150x + 100x = 180 250x = 180 x = 0.72 minutes Time to spend on math problems: 2x(50)=100x = 100(0.72) = 72 minutes
