1. The equation is s = 27 + l, and Lea ran 19 miles

   How to create an equation for the real-world context?

   The statement is given as:

   • Last week Scott ran 27 miles more than Lea.
   • Scott ran 46 miles.

   Represent the miles they ran with the first letters of their names.

   So, we have

   s = 27 + l

   s = 46

   How many miles did Lea run?

   Substitute s = 46 in s = 27 + l

   46 = 27 + l

   Subtract 27 from both sides

   l = 19

   Hence, the equation is s = 27 + l and Lea ran 19 miles
