Question

ryan starts 10 miles from his house and then runs further away at 6 miles per hour. Write an equation for the y, the total distance he is from his house, in hours.​

Answer 1

x = number of hours

6x = distance traveled if Ryan runs 6 mph

6x+10 = total distance Ryan is from his house, assuming he is runs further away from his house

Answer: y = 6x+10

Answer 2

The equation for the y, the total distance he is from his house, in x hours. will be given by :

y = 6x + 10

Explanation:

Distance covered by Ryan by walking = 10 miles

Distance covered by Ryan when he starts running for x hours= d

Speed of the Ryan when running = 6 mile/h

`Speed=(Distance)/(time)`

`6 mile=(d)/(x)`

d = 6x miles

Total distance of Ryan from his house: y

The equation for the y, the total distance he is from his house, in x hours. will be given by :

y = 10 miles + d = 10 miles + 6x miles

y = 10 + 6x
