The difference in miles run each day is 2√6.
To find the difference in miles run each day, we need to subtract the distance run on Tuesday from the distance run on Monday.
Distance run on Monday: 7√6 miles
Distance run on Tuesday: 5√6 miles
Subtracting the distance run on Tuesday from the distance run on Monday:
7√6 - 5√6 = 2√6
Therefore, the difference in miles run each day is 2√6 miles.
To find the difference in miles run each day, we need to subtract the miles run on Monday from the miles run on Tuesday.
On Monday, Jake runs 7√6 miles.
On Tuesday, Jake runs 5√6 miles.
To find the difference, we subtract the number of miles run on Monday from the number of miles run on Tuesday:
5√6 - 7√6
To subtract these two expressions, we need to have the same radicand (the number inside the square root) and the same coefficient (the number multiplied by the square root).
Since both expressions have the same radicand (√6), we can subtract the coefficients:
5 - 7 = -2
Therefore, the difference in miles run each day is -2√6 miles.
