Let's assign variables to each day of the week:
Mondays: x
Tuesdays: y
Wednesdays: z
Thursdays: a
Fridays: b
Saturdays: c
Sundays: d
Given that Steve skates 4 kilometers on Mondays, 5 kilometers on Thursdays, 8 kilometers on Saturdays, and 10 kilometers on Sundays, we can set up the following equations:
x + a + c + d = 17
x = 4
a = 5
c = 8
d = 10
Substituting the known values into the equation, we have:
4 + 5 + 8 + 10 = 17
27 = 17
Since this equation is not true, there must be an error in the initial information or calculations.
Steve exercises by rollerblading. He skates
4 kilometers on Mondays, 5 kilometers on Thursdays, 8 kilometers on Saturdays, and 10 kilometers on Sundays. If he clocked
17 kilometers for the week, on which days did he skate?
