Answer 1

The basket player scores
`x+t* 5=5+5t` points for certain number of minutes

Explanation:

Given that " A basketball player practices jump shots "

Also given that she starts at 0 pts and scores 5 pts per minute.

Let x be the starting point of her and y be the points which she scores per minute.

From the given we can write x=0 then y=5 for per minute

Therefore x+y=0+5=5points in 1 minute

To find that how many pts will she have scored after a certain number of minutes :

For certain minutes let take t minutes then she can scores

`x+t* y=5+t(5)`

`x+t* y=5+5t`

Therefore the basket player scores
`x+t* 5=5+5t` points for certain number of minutes
