(d) Solve the equation.
(e) Check your answer.

Answer 1

Hey tell me what you think about this
If Steve ran x and then Kevin ran x+4
So x+x+4=26

Answer 2

Lets see
a) x would be the distance steve ran and x+4 would be distance Kevin ran
b) for Kevin : x+4=26-x
for Steve : x= 26-x-4
c) An equation to solve would be x+x+4=26
d) x+x+4 =26
2x+4=26
2x=22
x=11 distance Steve ran
x+4 =15 distance Kevin ran
e) 11+15 = 26
15-11 =4
