Carl is on the school track team. to prepare for an upcoming race, he plans to run 217 miles total over the next 31 days. write an equation to determine how many miles, m, he needs to run per day, assuming he runs the same amount each day.

m=217 miles/31 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Carl has to run 217 miles in 31 days; to find the number of miles he needs to run per day, he should divide the number of miles he has to run  (217 miles ) by the  number to days he will run ( 31 days):

Carl has to run 7 miles per day. We can confirm this result by multiplying this by 31 days, and we should get 217 miles:

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
