    Answer: he hiked 5.6 miles up the canyon.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent his speed hiking uphill.

    His speed running downhill was 2.8 mph greater than his speed hiking uphill. This means that his speed running downhill would be x + 2.8

    Distance = speed * time

    Kevin hiked up Lamb's Canyon in 2 hours. This means that the distance covered by hiking uphill is 2 * x = 2x

    He ran back downhill in 1 hour. This means that the distance covered by running downhill is 1 * (x + 2.8) =

    x + 2.8

    Since the distance uphill is the same as the distance downhill, then

    2x = x + 2.8

    2x - x = 2.8

    x = 2.8

    Therefore, the distance hiked up the canyon is

    2x = 2 * 2.8 = 5.6 miles
