Jade normally leaves work at 5:00 pm, but she is leaving work 10 minutes late today. She decides to make up time by taking the t

oll road instead of side streets. She can travel two times faster by taking the toll road. Create an equation in terms of x to represent the number of minutes after 5:00 pm she arrives home from work if she leaves late. Let x represent the number of minutes her normal commute takes when she leaves on time.
y equals one half times x minus ten

y = 2x − 10

y = 2x + 10

y equals one half times x plus ten
