please help

Answer 3

I am trying to think about the problem.

Monica has already run 15 miles.

I don't know if the question is asking about the other 10 miles to meet the weekly goal or something else. The "average" part of the question is throwing me off.

Answer 4

Would you check the original probem in your text and see if there is anything that was left out when you posted the question?

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

that why it got me confused

Answer 7

Here is what I am thinking but I do not know if it is correct.

Let m be the mean number of miles per day he has to run to meet his goal of 25 miles minimum.

15 + 7*m ≥ 25 @jessica248

Solve for m.




(What I am not sure of is how many days Monica has already run to get up to 15 miles so far.)
