Question

A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 56 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: ___miles

Answer 1

Your Equation=    L=56+4(D)
L=56+4(36)
L=56+144
L=200
After working for 36 days, the total length of the road is 200 miles
