Question

Dave has already written 5 pages, and he expects to write 3 pages for every additional hour spent writing. Write a equation that shows the relationship between the hours spent writing x and the total pages written y.

Write your answer as an equation with y first, followed by an equals sign.

Answer 1

y=3x+5

Explanation:

He starts out with 5 pages already written then every hour after that he writes 3 more so plug in any amount of hours in for x and you will find how many pages he's written plus the 5 that he started out with.
