mako runs m miles each day. de 'Anthony runs twice as many miles as mako. altogether. they run 18 miles each day. how many miles does mako run each day.

(the instructions were: create an equation to help solve each real world problem. i need the equation and the steps to solve it. i'm so lost with this. and i'm in the 9th grade.)



Answer :

Mako runs 3 miles each day

The first step is to write out the parameters given in the question

Mako runs miles each day

Anthony runs twice as many miles as Mako = 2m

Altogether, they run for 18 miles each day

Let m represent the number of miles that mako run each day

The equation that can be used to solve the question is

m + 2m= 18

The number of miles  run by Mako each day can be calculated as follows

m + 2m= 18

collect the like terms

3m= 18

Divide both sides by the coefficient of m which is 3

3m/3= 18/3

m= 6

Hence Mako runs 3 miles each day
