Answer:

$in \: day \: one \: she \: ran \: 8 \: mile s.\\ in \: day \: two \: she \: ran \: 12 \: miles.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: number \: of \: miles \: for \: the \: first \: day \: be : x \\ let \: the \: number \: of \: miles \: for \: the \: second \: day \: be : x + 4 \\ therefore \: in \: two \: days \: she \: ran \: 20 \: miles = x + (x + 4) \\ now......thats \: the \: required \: equation....... \\ if \: x + (x + 4) = 20 \: then : \\ 2x + 4 = 20 \\ 2x = 20 - 4 \\ 2x = 16 \\ x = 8. \\ so \: in \: day \: one \: she \: ran \: 8 \: mile \\ in \: day \: two \: she \: ran \: (8 \: + 4) \: miles = 12 \: miles$
