Carolina biked 1 mile more than twice the number of miles James biked. Carolina biked a total of 5 miles. Write an equation to determine how many miles James biked.

c=5

c=1+2j

Subtract the 1 from the equation to get 2j on its own.

2j=4 Divide both sides by 2. 4/2=2

j=2

j for James and the c for Carolina

Hope this helps!

78.59 is the mean
