S=miles Simone walked
L=miles Larry walked=S+2mi
C=miles Camille walked=2L=2(S+2mi)
.
S+L+C=34 mi
S+(S+2)+2(S+2)=34 mi
S+(S+2)+(2S+4)=34 mi
4S+6=34 mi
4S=28 mi
S=7 mi
ANSWER 1: Simone walked 7 miles.
L=S+2 mi=7 mi+2 mi=9 mi
ANSWER 2: Larry walked 9 miles.
C=2L=2(9 mi)=18 mi
ANSWER 3: Camille walked 18 miles.
.
CHECK:
S+L+C=34 mi
7 mi+9mi+18mi=34 mi
34 mi=34 mi
