So,
We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.
We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8
We'll just use A to represent both J and M.
S = M - 8
We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64
Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64
Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72
Divide both sides by 3
A = 24
Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24
Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16
Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.
So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16
I find these easier to calculate when everything is converted to a decimal
d=rt
d=(9.5mph x 1.75)
d = 16.625 ( approx. 16.6 miles)

- [Right Triangles Only]: Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
We are given a right triangle. We can use PT to solve for the missing length.
<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>
Leg <em>a</em> = 8
Leg <em>b</em> = 8
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = <em>x</em>
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute [PT]: 8² + 8² = x²
- Exponents: 64 + 64 = x²
- Add: 128 = x²
- Isolate <em>x</em>: 8√2 = x
- Rewrite: x = 8√2
