Taking t to be the distance of one lap, and n to be the distance around a neighborhood,
Kevin: 8t+6n+7
Conner: 4t+19n
Now add the distances for Kevin and Conner.

anonymous · Answer

So Kevin has 21 and Conner 23?

allank · Answer

Not quite. Remember that we do not know the value of t nor n. So our answer must have unknowns. Try again.

Hint: (8t+6n+7)+(4t+19n)

anonymous · Answer

44?

allank · Answer

Not quite. (8t+6n+7)+(4t+19n)=12t+25n+7

anonymous · Answer

12t+25+7. so the answer would be 44t?
