Hi there!
If Jeremy walked 6/8 of the way to school and ran the rest we know that Jeremy ran 2/8 of the way. We can simplify this further to get to our simplest form.
6/8 ---> 3/4 Simplified.
So your answer is Jeremy walked 3/4 of the way.
Check the picture below.

now, we could check for the CA distance, however, we already know that AB ≠ BC, so there's no need.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2a + b = 6......equation 1
a - 6 = b
a = b + 6........equation 2
Putting equation 2 in equation 1
2 ( b + 6 ) + b = 6
2b + 12 + b = 6
3b = 6 - 12
3b = - 6
b = - 6 / 3
Therefore b = - 2
Now
a = - 2 + 6 = 4
hope it will help :)
Answer:
letter B is the answer (i think not sure )
