Step-by-step explanation:


Answer:

You burn 265 calories running and then 7 calories per minute swimming.

Your friend burns 273 calories running and then 11 calories per minute swimming.

Let us assume that both of you swim for x minutes.

Calories burnt by you = [tex]265+7x[/tex]

Calories burnt by your friend = [tex]273+11x[/tex]

Difference between both = [tex]273+11x-(265+7x)[/tex]

= [tex]273+11x-265-7x[/tex]

= [tex]8+4x[/tex]

Hence, difference can be shown using [tex]8+4x[/tex].
