Answer:

T = 5.5 + 0.75(d - 1)

Explanation:

David plans to walk for 5 minutes and a half minutes on the first day and increase his walking time by 45 seconds each day.

Now, 45 seconds can be expressed as 45/60 minutes = 0.75 minutes.

Therefore, the model of the equation which represents David's exercise time is

T = 5.5 + 0.75(d - 1), where T is presented in minutes and d is the number of days he exercises. (Answer)
