Andrew walked a certain distance,
He walked x km.
and then ran twice as far as he walked.
So he ran 2x km
He then caught a bus for the last 2 km.
That's 2 more km

So altogether he traveled x km + 2x km + 2 km
If he travelled a total of 32 km,
Therefore

x km + 2x km + 2 km = 32 km

         x + 2x + 2 = 32

        1x + 2x + 2 = 32
find how far Andrew walked and ran.
You finish.
