Final answer:
Aliyah ran 28 miles last week, which is calculated by adding the 17 miles more that she ran than Joe to Joe's total of 11 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to find out how many miles Aliyah ran, given that Joe ran 17 miles less than Aliyah and that Joe ran 11 miles. To find out how many miles Aliyah ran, we simply add the 17 miles that Joe ran less to Joe's total mileage.
So the equation to determine Aliyah's mileage is:
Joe's mileage + 17 miles = Aliyah's mileage
11 miles + 17 miles = 28 miles
Therefore, Aliyah ran 28 miles last week.
