Answer 1

The number of races that were 10-kilometer long is 102.

An athlete ran a total of 1,500 kilometers in a race before retiring. The athlete completed 32 races that were at least 15 kilometers in length. The rest were 10-kilometer races. We need to find out the number of races that were 10-kilometer long.

Let the number of races that were 10-kilometers long be denoted by the variable "x". An equation is a formula in mathematics that expresses the equivalence of two expressions by linking them with the equal sign. We can write the equation as given below.

32×15 + 10x = 1,500

480 + 10x = 1,500

10x = 1,500 - 480

10x = 1,020

x = 1,020/10

x = 102

Hence, the number of races that were 10-kilometer long is 102.
