Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday

Solution:

Given that,

Rick jogged the same distance on tuesday and friday

Let "x" be the distance jooged on each tuesday and friday

He also jogged for 8 miles on sunday

Total of 20 miles for the week

Therefore, we frame a equation as,

total distance jogged = miles jogged on tuesday + miles jogged on friday + miles jogged on sunday

20 = x + x + 8

20 = 2x + 8

2x = 20 - 8

2x = 12

x = 6

Thus Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
