Answer:

15 times 2 - 26 = x

Explanation:

Warren drives half the distance Kendall drives to work. Kendall drives 26 more miles to work than Joe. Warren drives 15 miles. Write an equation that models this situation. Use x to represent the number of miles Joe drives to work.

W X 1/2 = K

K - 26 = J

so 15 times 2 - 26 = x
