A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of

54
miles, and the crew is adding
4
miles to the road each day.
Let
L
represent the total length of the road (in miles), and let
D
represent the number of days the crew has worked. Write an equation relating
L
to
D
. Then use this equation to find the total length of the road after the crew has worked
33
days.

L = 4d + 54

after crew worked 33 days...d = 33
L = 4(33) + 54
L = 132 + 54
L = 186...so after 33 days, the crew made a road that measures 186 miles
