you can solve this question by setting up a linear equation,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let our variable be X\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since she runs 7 times more than she swims we can state that swimming is x and running is 7x. since biking is 7 times more than running we can say (7)(7x) or 49X. Because the total distance is 232 miles we can set up the equation below.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x)+(7x)+(49x)=232\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "because all the terms are alike we can add them together..\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "57X=232\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now you divide both sides by 57 to isolate x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=4.07017......\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so she swims 4.07 miles, she runs (7)*4.07= 28.5 miles and she bikes 28.5*(7)=199.5 miles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
