Will runs 6 laps before Megan joins him at the track. They then run together at the same pace. Represent the relationship between the number of laps Will runs + Megan runs.

W = M + 6

To represent the relationship between the number of laps Will runs and Megan runs, we can use a mathematical equation.

Let's assume that Megan runs x laps after joining Will at the track.

Before Megan joins, Will runs 6 laps.

After Megan joins, they run together at the same pace, so the number of laps Will runs will be the same as the number of laps Megan runs.

Therefore, the total number of laps they run together, represented by (Will runs + Megan runs), can be written as:

Total number of laps = Will's laps + Megan's laps
= 6 laps + x laps

So, the relationship between the number of laps Will runs and Megan runs can be represented by the equation:

Total number of laps = 6 + x
