Question

mayo runs m miles each day. De'Anthony runs twice as many miles is Mako. Altogether, they run 18 miles each day. How many miles does Mako run each day.

Answer 1

`m+2m=18\implies 3m=18\implies m=6`

Answer 2

6 miles each day.

Explanation:

Mako runs m miles each day.

De' Anthony runs twice as many miles as Mako runs = 2m

They run 18 miles each day altogether.

The expression to find the total number of miles does Mako run =

m + 2m = 18

3m = 18

m =
`(18)/(3)`

m = 6 miles

Mako runs 6 miles each day.
