Question

PLEASE HELP. I know how to do these but I'm stuck on this one.

Answer 1

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
