Answer:

Let P be the number of miles Padma runs per week and S be the number of miles Seema runs per week.

P = 5-S

If Seema ran 17 miles then Padma ran 12 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told Seema runs 5 miles more per week than Padma so 5+P=S.

To solve for P, we just subtract 5 from both sides yielding P=S-5.
