Question 272796: Create a system of linear equations from the following information. I jog four times a week, and do static runs (intervals) three times a week. The number of miles I run depends on the number of static runs I complete. For instance, I run 2 miles each time I jog and then on my interval days, I run an additional half mile after each static workout, (I normally complete four static workouts each interval day).
...
So I guess the miles I run, (M) = 2 + .5X the number of static runs I complete (s). So it would be written as M = 2 + .5s Where M = the miles I run and s = static workouts. How many miles do I run each week? Create a system of linear equations.

4j+3s=w
j=2m
s=m/2
There is not enough info to give a numeric answer.
It depends on how many static workouts are done.
The closest we have is normally 4s per interval day.
j = 4s, m = 2s, w = 19s
