An athlete is running in a marathon that eventually finishes at a local high school. After x minutes, the distance the athlete is from the school is given by y (in miles), where x + 10y = 260 (Note: 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 26). Use the relationship between x and y to find the distance between the runner and the high school at the start line.

Answer :

x = 10 
y = 25
10 + 250 = 260

Answer: (0) + 10y  =  260

10y  = 260

y  =  26 miles
