A. define the variables : a = abby's miles, j = james' miles

b. a = j + 4......j = a - 4

c. a + j = 28
    a = j + 4
    
 d. (j + 4) + j = 28
      2j + 4 = 28
      2j = 28 - 4
      2j = 24
       j = 24/2
       j = 12
  
       a = j + 4
       a = 12 + 4
       a = 16

e. check..
     a + j = 28
     16 + 12 = 28
      28 = 28 (correct)

solution is : abby's miles (a) = 16
                   james' miles (j) = 12

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

to find this, we will first determine how long it takes austin to run one mile.

18 miles / 180 minutes

1 mile / 10 minutes

it takes austin to run 10 minutes to run 1 mile

now, we will multiply the number of minutes it takes by 6 to find how long it takes austin to run 6 miles.

1 mile / 10 minutes

6 miles / 60 minutes

it takes austin 60 minutes to run 6 miles
