Know the Answer?

Iris Benitez · Answer 1

The Answer is 23+x=50

Brittany Park · Answer 2

The answer is A) 23 + x = 50.

Just think about it, it's simple.

The total is 50, so the equation will end with " = 50"

X represents how many miles she ran that would add up to 50 when combined with the 23 we already know she ran.

So 23 + x = 50
