-------
Steve distance: x
Kevin's distance: x+4
-----
Equation:
x + x+4 = 26
2x + 4 = 26
2x = 22
x = 11
----
Steve distance: x = 11 miles
Kevin's distance: x + 4 = 15 miles

k for kevin, s for steve.

k=s+4, and k+s=26. Find s.

Using the total distance and substituting for k, (s+4)+s=26
2s+4=26
2s=26-4
2s=22
s=11
