During the annual walk for peace, nina walked a total of six miles more than her husband ed. Their combined mileage was 46. Ed's company pledged to donate $1.00 for each mile that ed and nina walked. How many miles did nina walk?

Respuesta :

Answer:

26miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Nina's husband's (Ed) mileage = x miles

Nina = (x + 6) miles

Combined mileage = 46

Nina's miles + Ed's miles = 46

x + (x+6) = 46

x+x+6 = 46

2x +6 = 46

2x = 46-6

2x = 40

x = 40/2 = 20miles

Nina's husband covered 20miles

Nina covered = x+6 = 20+6 = 26miles

Nina walked 26miles
