Question

Jessie wants to spend more time reading over summer break. In the

first week, she read for 15 minutes per day. She plans to increase
her daily reading time by 2 minutes at the start of each new week.
If she reads five days per week, what is an appropriate process for
finding the total number of minutes she will read in week 5?

Answer 1

85 minutes

Explanation:

y = 2x + 75

15 · 5 or 75 is the first week's reading

x represents the week.

y = 2(5) + 75

y = 10 + 75

y = 85

85 minutes
