Cesar and Alejandro were trying out for the cross country team. Together they ran 24 miles. If Alejandro ran twice

as many miles as Cesar how many miles did each one run?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance traveled by Cesar be x

the distance traveled by Alejandro = 2x

x + 2x = 24

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

The distance traveled by Cesar = 8 miles

The distance traveled by Alejandro = 2x = 2*8 = 16 miles

8
