To find the difference in miles run each day, we need to subtract the distance run on Tuesday from the distance run on Monday.

Distance run on Monday: 76 – √ miles
Distance run on Tuesday: 56 – √ miles

Subtracting the distance run on Tuesday from the distance run on Monday:
(76 – √ miles) - (56 – √ miles)

Distributing the negative sign in front of the second parentheses:
76 – √ miles - 56 + √ miles

Combining like terms:
(76 - 56) + (√ miles - √ miles)

Simplifying further:
20 + (0)

The difference in miles run each day is 20 miles. So the correct answer is 20.

To find the difference in miles run each day, we need to subtract the number of miles run on Tuesday from the number of miles run on Monday.

On Monday, Jake runs 76–√ miles.
On Tuesday, Jake runs 56–√ miles.

So, the difference is:

76–√ - (56–√)

We can simplify this by distributing the negative sign:

76–√ - 56 + √

Combining like terms, we get:

(76 - 56) + (-√ + √)

20 + (0)

So, the difference in miles run each day is 20 miles.

To find the difference in miles run each day, we need to subtract the distance run on Tuesday from the distance run on Monday.

Distance run on Monday = 76 - √ miles
Distance run on Tuesday = 56 - √ miles

So, the difference in miles run each day will be:

(76 - √ miles) - (56 - √ miles)

Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:

76 - 56 - √ miles + √ miles

Simplifying further:

20

Therefore, the difference in miles run each day is 20 miles.
