Question

6. Emma uses 10 pages of paper when she writes anything. She uses an

additional 4 pages of paper every hour that she writes. Write an equation
that would show how many pages of paper she uses when writing.

Answer 1

4x+10

Explanation:

Emma is guaranteed to use 10 pages when she writes something. Since you can't tell how many hours she has written, you use x to represent the hours she has spent writing. If she writes 4 pages every hour, that would be 4 × (hours spent writing) or 4x. Add 4x to the original guaranteed 10 pages she uses and you have your expression.
