Question

Sarah is hiking on a trail near her home. She traveled 5 miles before stopping for a break. After the break, Sarah plans on increasing her speed to 3 miles per hour. Which equation models the total distance, D, Sarah travels after hiking for an additional h hours?

Answer 1

D = 3h + 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

D=3h+5

Explanation:

Given: The rate of increasing speed = 3 miles per hour

The distance she traveled before stopping = 5 miles

Let h represents the number of additional hours for hiking.

Then the equation that models the total distance 'D' Sarah travels after hiking for an additional h hours is given by :-

D=3h+5
