Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the miles Kenyon ran on tuesday

Let y be the miles Kenyon ran on thursday

Given,

Mon + Tues + Wed + Thu = 8mi

[tex]1.2 + x + 1.6 + y = 8 \\ 2.8 + x + y = 8 \\ x + y = 8 - 2.8 \\ x + y = 5.2[/tex]

also given,

[tex]y = x + 0.4 \\ - x + y = 0.4[/tex]

Now we have x + y = 5.2 as equation 1 and -x + y = 0.4 as equation 2

Using equation 1,

[tex]x + y = 5.2 \\ x = 5.2 - y[/tex]

Substitute this equation into equation 2.

[tex] - (5.2 - y) + y = 0.4 \\ - 5.2 + y + y = 0.4 \\ - 5.2 + 2y = 0.4 \\ 2y = 0.4 + 5.2 \\ 2y = 5.6 \\ y = 5.6 \div 2 \\ = 2.8mi[/tex]

Substitute y = 2.8 into equation 1.

[tex]x + 2.8 = 5.2 \\ x = 5.2 - 2.8 \\ = 2.4mi[/tex]

Therefore Kenyon ran 2.4 miles on tuesday, and ran 2.8 miles on thursday.
