if julie ran 3.6 miles from home to the gym and then walked 0.7 miles to the store she then ran from the store home if her total distance covered after she returned from the store was 7.2 miles how far is it from the store to her home? write and simplify and expression that would represent the distance she covered.



Answer :

So,

Home ---- gym = 3.6 mi.
gym   ---- store = .7 mi.
store ----- home = x

3.6 + .7 + x = 7.2 mi.

4.3 + x = 7.2

Subtract 4.3 from both sides
x = 2.9

The distance from the store to her home is 2.9 miles.
