Question

Jeremy runs 7 mile per week and increases his distance by 1 mile each week .Tony runs 3 miles per week and increases his distance by 2 miles each week .In how many weeks will Jeremy and Tony be running the same distance ?What will that distance be? 

Answer 1

Jeremy's distance = 7 + w

Tony's distance = 3 + 2w

 

7 + w = 3 + 2w

4 = w

 

They run the same distance in week 4.
