Answer:
Josephina runs 24 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Steve and Josephina run a total of 42 miles in a week.
Let S be the number of miles Steve runs
and J be the number of miles Josphina runs
Steve ran six fewer miles than josephina
[tex]S= J-6[/tex]
Total miles is 42
[tex]S+J= 42[/tex]
Now we replace S with J-6
[tex]J-6+J= 42[/tex]
[tex]2J-6= 42[/tex]
Add 6 on both sides
[tex]2J= 48[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
J= 24
Josephina runs 24 miles
