The equation is s = 27 + l, and Lea ran 19 miles

How to create an equation for the real-world context?

The statement is given as:

  • Last week Scott ran 27 miles more than Lea.
  • Scott ran 46 miles.

Represent the miles they ran with the first letters of their names.

So, we have

s = 27 + l

s = 46

How many miles did Lea run?

Substitute s = 46 in s = 27 + l

46 = 27 + l

Subtract 27 from both sides

l = 19

Hence, the equation is s = 27 + l and Lea ran 19 miles
