Gisele trains 7 days per week for a biathlon. She covers a total of 20 miles cycling and running each day. Gisele cycles a total

of 105 miles each week, and runs a certain number of miles per week. If she cycles the same number of miles each day and runs the same number of miles each day, the equation 1/7(105+r)=20 represents the situation. Which describes the solution, r , to this equation?

Let
x-----> <span>total of miles cycling each week
r-----> </span>total of miles running each week

we know that
20*7=140 miles-----> <span>total of miles cycling and running each week
</span>x+r=140-----> equation 1
x=105----> equation 2

substitute equation 2 in equation 1
[105]+r=140------> divide by 7 both sides----> (1/7)*[105+r]=20

where
105/7----> 15 miles----> total of miles cycling each day

r=140-105----> r=35---> total of miles running each week
35/7-------> 5 miles---> total of miles running each day

the answer is
r describes the total of miles running each week
