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
I hope this helps with you
