Answer:

The temperature six minutes after being turned on is 125°.

T(t)= 65° + t * 10°

Explanation:

Linear Equations

Ellie sets the temperature of the oven to 65°. The oven will increase the temperature at 10° per minute after being turned on.

After the first minute, the temperature of the oven is

65° + 10° = 75°

After the second minute, the temperature is:

65° + 2*10° = 65° + 20° = 85°

The same pattern goes on after minute 6, where the temperature is:

65° + 6*10° = 65° + 60° = 125°

The temperature six minutes after being turned on is 125°.

The general formula can be deducted for any time t as:

T(t)= 65° + t * 10°
