25 miles

Explanation:

Hakeem is starting a running plan to train for a race. In the first week of his running plan, Hakeem will run 11 miles. The plan calls for Hakeem to increase his weekly milage by 2 miles every week. If Hakeem sticks to the plan, how many miles would he be expected to run during his 8th week of the training plan?

This can be described as:

11 + 2w

when w = week

because he runs 11 miles the first week, he only has 7 weeks of 2 mile increases:

11 + 2(7) = 25 miles
