pete stopped, but tim kept running for 11 laps more.
by the end of the run-a-thon, pete and tim had run 45 laps around the school playground altogether.
how many laps had each boy run?
:
let L = no. of laps run by Pete
then
(L+11) = no. of laps run by Tim
:
L + (L+11) = 45
2L = 45 - 11
2L = 34
L = 17 laps run by Pete and 28 laps run by Tim
:
:
Check 17 + 28 = 45
