Final answer:

Kelly will have run a total distance of 112 miles after 7 weeks, increasing her distance by 3 miles each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kelly is increasing her distance by 3 miles each week. After 7 weeks, she will have run a total distance of:

Week 1: 7 miles

Week 2: 10 miles (7 + 3)

Week 3: 13 miles (10 + 3)

Week 4: 16 miles (13 + 3)

Week 5: 19 miles (16 + 3)

Week 6: 22 miles (19 + 3)

Week 7: 25 miles (22 + 3)

To find the total distance, we can simply add up the distances for each week:

Total distance = 7 + 10 + 13 + 16 + 19 + 22 + 25 = 112 miles
