Question

Elena and Marcus jog after school each day. One

day, Elena and Marcus jogged a total of 15 miles.
Elena jogged 1 mile more than Marcus. Use a graph
to find the number of miles each person jogged.

Answer 1

Answer:Marcus jogged 7 miles while Elena jogged 8 miles.

Explanation:

x + (x+1) = 15

2x+1=15

putting like terms together we get:

2x=15-1

2x=14

hence

x=14/2 = 7miles

therefore we conclude that Marcus jogged 7 miles while Elena jogged 8 miles.
