Question

Lucas ran a total distance of 25 miles in two days. If he ran a distance of 15 miles the first day, how many miles did he run on the second day?

Which of the following equations correctly represents this situation?

25 − 15 = m

m − 25 = 15

15 + 25 = m

m − 15 = 25

25 + m = 15

Answer 1

the first equation represents the problem and Lucas would have run 10 miles the second day.

Explanation:

25 - 15 = 10 miles on the second day
