♡ The Explanation(s)/Step-By-Step! ♡

-Since everytime Emily walks a mile she earns $5, the dollars earned, (d), will be at the beginning. (d =) The next step is figuring out what comes next, this would turn out to be 5w since w = walking a mile, and 5 is how much she earns per mile. (d = 5w) Since she had a starting cost of $15 dollars however, this last piece of information can complete the function. (d = 5w + $15)
