Sagot :

Anthony ran 5.5 miles each day after school.

Let x represent the distance ran after school.

Since he ran 1.5 miles around his neighborhood before school, hence the distance ran each day is:

Distance ran each day = x + 1.5

Also he ran for four days a total of 28 miles, hence:

4(x + 1.5) = 28

4x + 6 = 28

4x = 22

x = 5.5

Hence he ran 5.5 miles each day after school.
