Question

yuriko ran three more than twice as many miles as Paul did yesterday Yuriko ran 7 miles yesterday let X represent the number of miles Paul ran

Answer 1

Answer: The number of miles Paul ran is 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of miles Paul ran be x

Since we have given that

Number of miles ran by Yurika = 7 miles

According to question, Yurika ran 3 more than twice as many miles as Paul did yesterday.

So, it becomes,

$2x+3=7\\\\2x=7-3\\\\2x=4\\\\x=\frac{4}{2}\\\\x=2\ miles$

Hence, the number of miles Paul ran is 2 miles.
