Steve ran 11 miles
let the distance Steve ran be x
Then distance Kevin ran is x + 4 ( 4 miles more than Steve )
x + x + 4 = 26 ( the sum of their distance is 26 )
2x + 4 = 26 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 22 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 11
Steve ran 11 mies and Kevin ran 11 + 4 = 15 miles
check 11 + 15 = 26
So the expression is:
You can combine like terms, which are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. That means you can combine the two
.
The other terms can't be combined.
Your final answer should be

Let the youngest sister be n years
Lana will be 2n years, as her youngest sister is half her age
The age of the twins separately will be 2n-2 as they are 2 years younger than Lana
So, the equation looks like this:
n + 2n + 2(2n-2) = 45
Now solve for n:
3n + 4n - 4 = 45
7n - 4 = 45
7n = 49
n = 7
So the youngest sister is 7, Lana is 14 and the twins are 12. 14 + 12 + 12 + 7 =45
The way you can get this answer you can use the calculater
