Question

On Sunday, Bill ran 4 more miles than he ran on Saturday. Julia did not run on Saturday, but she ran twice the number of miles on Sunday that Bill ran on Sunday. If Bill and Julia ran a total of 24 miles on Saturday and Sunday, how many miles did Bill run on Sunday?

Explanation:

Answer 2

Bill ran 3 miles on Sunday

Explanation:

the equation needed to solve this question would look something like this, with x representing the miles Bill ran on Sunday -

24= (x) + (x+4) + 2(x+4)

simplified -

24 = 4x +12

24-12 = 12

12 = 4x

3 = x

Bill on Sunday ran 3 miles

Bill on sunday ran (3+4) 7 miles

Julia on Sunday ran 0 miles

Julia on Sunday ran (7x2) 14 miles

3+7+0+14 = 24
