I GOTCHU FAM

Answer 5

So first you need to find out how much he walked and ran. You could use an equation like
w+r=11

Answer 6

then, it says he ran 2 miles more than twice as far as he walked. so you would find how much he ran:
Ran= 2r+2
After you have this you can plug it into the equation before (w+r=11):
w+(2w+2)= 11 and frm here you can do the math and get how much he walked.
w+2w+2
3w+2=11
-2 -2
3w=9
-- --
3 3
w=3

Answer 7

So now you know how much he walked. And you can plug this into the original equation (w+r=11) and figure out how much he walked:
3+r=11
-3 -3
r=8
so he ran 8 miles (dayum thats alot)
Good luck with the other problems :D

Answer 8

@legendofmath just a note: a marathon is 26 miles (I am not a runner either)
