You can put this solution on YOUR website! Kevin ran 4 miles more than Steve ran. The sum of their distances is 26 miles. How far did Steve run? The domain of the solution is {0, 4, 11, 22}. Show your work.
-------
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

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
