Answer:

Ms Levy = 2

Ms Rabb = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of teaspoons taken by Ms Levy = x

Number of teaspoons taken by Ms Rabb = x + 1

Total number of teaspoons taken by both = 5

(Number of teaspoons taken by Ms Rabb + Number of teaspoons taken by Ms Levy) = total number of teaspoons taken

x + 1 + x = 5

2x + 1 = 5

2x = 5 - 1

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

Hence,

Number of teaspoons of sugar added by Ms Levy = x = 2

Number of teaspoons of sugar added by Ms Rabb = x + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3
