    Step-by-step explanation:

    You have to set each runner's plan equal to each other because they are equal in the end. You start with 7 miles for Angelo and 4 miles for Marc.

    x is a variable that is multiplied by the number of weeks it takes for both runners' distances to be equal. So multiply x by the miles increased every week.

    Marc = Angelo

    2x + 4 = x + 7

    x = 3

    In 3 weeks each runner will run 10 miles for the week.
