Question

 An athlete runs an equal distance 2 days a week. The other 5 days of the​ week, he runs a total of 11 miles. Write an equation to represent the total number of miles run in a week R and the number of miles x run each of the 2 days. If the athlete ran 19 miles last​ week, how far did he run each of the first 2 ​days?

Answer 1

Ok since the athlete an equal distance of 2 days a week and he runs a total of 11 miles in 5 days you will need to think back so before he had 11 miles done next weak he had a total of 19 miles so you will start at 11 then count up to 19.

Use a number line to show how many days it took for the athlete to get 19 miles.

Then once you do the number line count the lumps and that’s how many days it took for the athlete to get 19 miles.

Hope this helped.
