ANSWER:

3.5 slices

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Let x be the number of slices the runner up ate.

Davonne ate four more than twice the amount of the runner up, for a total of 11 slices.

So the equation that we can plan is the following :.

[tex]4+2x=11[/tex]

We solve for x:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2x=11-4 \\ x=\frac{7}{2} \\ x=3.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the runner up ate 3 and a half slices
