Question

At Horatio's machining company, it takes 2 minutes to manufacture each part and 10 minutes to pack all the parts for an order. Write an expression that shows how many minutes it will take to complete an order, assuming there are x parts in an order.

Answer 1

2x + 10 is the correct answer :)

Answer 2

f(x) = 2x + 10

Explanation:

Let's call this function f(x), where f(x) is time to get the order ready and x is the number of parts:

• f(x) = 2x + 10 Is the expression of this function.

2x is the time to manufacture all parts of the order and 10 min is the time to pack them.
