A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 57 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 36 days.

Equation: ?
Total Length of the road after 36 days: ?

Answer 1

L = 57 + 4D

After 36 days, the length of the road will be 201 miles.

Explanation:

L = 57 + 4(36)

L = 57 + 144

L = 201
