Question

Michael cycles 4 kilometers during each trip to work. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of trips to work x and the total distance cycled y.

Answer 1

The equation that represents the total distance travelled by numbers of times he goes to work by Michael is y = 4*x

Explanation:

Since Michael has to travel 4 km each time he goes to work if he goes to work 2 times he'll have to travel 8 km, if he goes 3 times he'll have to travel 12 km. If we keep doing this we'll realize that the distance travelled by Michael is given by the number of times he goes to work multiplied by 4. The equation that represents that is:

y = 4*x
