Question

Andre currently runs a total of 12 Miles each week. he plans to increase the number of miles he runs each week by a 1.5 miles until he is running a total of 26 miles each week. how many weeks will it take Andre to reach his goal?​

Answer 1

1.5x+12=26

Explanation:

Andy currently runs a total of 12 miles per week. He plans to increase that number by 1.5 miles, so number of miles increased in x weeks will be 1.5x and total number of miles ran in x weeks will be 1.5x+12.

Since Andy wants to reach a total of 26 miles per week, so we will equate the total number of miles ran in x weeks with 26.
