Kevin ran 3 miles more than steve ran the sum of their distances is 31 miles how far did steve run. a. define your variable b. write algebraic expressions for the distances each person ran c. write an equation that can you solve the problem d. solve the equation show your work

A: Miles Steve ran

B: Steve: x; Kevin: x+3

C: x+x+3=31

D: x=14

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Is the variable for the question. In this case, it's how many miles Steve ran.

B: I put Steve as x. Kevin would be x+3 because it says that he ran 3 more miles than Steve.

C: x+x+3=31 because again, Steve is x added with Kevin, which is x+3. 31 is the total.

D:x+x+3=31

2x+3=31

2x=28

x=14

Steve ran 14 miles

Hope this helped!

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
