Jack bought a box with both blueberry and poppyseed muffins. There were 20 more blueberry muffins than poppyseed muffins, and there were 64 muffins in all. How many blueberry muffins did Jack buy?

Let blueberry = b and poppyseed = p

b + p = 64

b = p + 20

p + 20 + p = 64

2p + 20 = 64

2p = 44

p = 22

b = 22 + 20

b = 42

Jack bought 42 blueberry muffins
