Answer :

Given data:

The distance hiked on monday =15.4 miles.

The distance hiked on Tuesday =20.6 miles.

The length of trail = 50 miles.

The distance hiked on Wednesday =m.

The equation can be written as,

[tex]15.4+20.6+m=50[/tex]

Solving the above equation,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 36+m=50 \\ m=14 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the required value of m is 14 miles.
