For gym class, Gracie keeps a record of how many miles she runs. For the first half of the semester she runs 23 miles, and her grand total at the end of the semester is 50 miles. Write an equation to model this situation.
23 + x = 50
where x = 27
stop with the homework dump, ok?
lol
To write an equation to model this situation, we need to establish a relationship between the total miles Gracie ran with the miles she ran in the first half of the semester. Let's denote the total miles she ran as "T" and the miles she ran in the first half of the semester as "F."
We know that Gracie ran 23 miles in the first half of the semester, and her grand total at the end of the semester is 50 miles. So, we can express this relationship using an equation:
T = F + 23
In this equation, "T" represents the grand total of miles Gracie ran throughout the semester, "F" represents the miles she ran in the first half of the semester, and adding 23 accounts for the rest of the miles she ran in the second half of the semester.
