Question

In one season, Kim ran 18 races. This was 4 fewer races than twice the number of races Kelly ran. How many races did Kelly run?

Answer 1

What you have to do is set up an equation:
You have to do 2x+4 because that is what will lead to what 1 and both of them ran.
so, once you do the problem you can figure out that x=7
Next you add the 4 to Kelly's score. In the end, your final answer is 11.
This is one way to do it, there are many more ways to solve these.
Hope this Helps!
P.S It would be great if I could get a thanks or a brainliest :D
