Answer:

26 Track practices

Step-by-step explanation:

Janet has already run 12 miles on her own.

For each track practice, she expects to run 1 mile.

Let the number of track practices = x

Therefore, the total miles run after x track practices


=12+1x

If her total miles run = 38 miles, then:


\begin{gathered} 12+1x=38 \\ x=38-12 \\ x=26 \end{gathered}

It would take her 26 track practices to run 38 miles.
