Jared ran 7 miles more than Jonathan last week. Jonathan ran 11 miles. Which Equation will tell you how many miles Jared ran.

Question

1. x+7=11
2. x-7=11
3. 7x=11
4. 7-x=11

Answer 1

To find out how many miles Jared ran, you need to add the 7 extra miles he ran to the number of miles Jonathan ran. So, the correct equation would be:

Jonathan's miles + 7 = Jared's miles

Given that Jonathan ran 11 miles, the correct equation is:

11 + 7 = x

Simplifying it, you get:

18 = x

Therefore, the correct equation is:

x = 18

None of the options provided match the correct equation.
