Question

Dana has already taken 3 pages of notes on her own, and she will take 2 pages durning each hour of class. write an equation that shows the relationship between the time in class h amd the number of pages p.

write your answer as an equation with p first, followed by an equals sign ​

Answer 1

p = 2×h + 3

Explanation:

for every hour in class she writes 2 pages.

so, the total number of pages written is 2 times the number of hours in class.

and she had already a starting "offset", a head start if you will, of 3 pages.

so, even if she spends 0 hours in class, she has these 3 pages no matter what.

hence the "+ 3" part.
