Answer: The number of miles Paul ran is 2 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of miles Paul ran be x
Since we have given that
Number of miles ran by Yurika = 7 miles
According to question, Yurika ran 3 more than twice as many miles as Paul did yesterday.
So, it becomes,
[tex]2x+3=7\\\\2x=7-3\\\\2x=4\\\\x=\frac{4}{2}\\\\x=2\ miles[/tex]
Hence, the number of miles Paul ran is 2 miles.
