Question

John is working out on an exercise bike at his local gym. He has already completed 13 miles and he is pedaling 17 miles per hour. Write an equation that models the total distance John will pedal once he is finished on the bike after riding another x number of hours.

a) y=17x−13

b) y=17x+13

c) y=13x+17

d) y=17x

Answer 1

B) y=17x+13
Because he has already rode 13 miles and he is going 17 miles per hour the variable would be the amount of hours he drives making it 17x+13
