Question

You are raising money by walking miles for a charity. A friend donates $25 and your cousin promises to donate $5 per mile that you walk. Which equation shows the total amount of money in dollars, y, you will raise for walking for x miles?

Answer 1

x = number of miles you walk

5*x = amount of money the cousin donates

25 = amount of money your friend donates

5x+25 = total amount of money donated

y = total amount of money donated

y = 5x+25

Answer: y = 5x+25

Answer 2

Answer:

$y =5x+25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you are raising money by walking miles for a charity. A friend donates $25 and your cousin promises to donate $5 per mile that you walk

If x is the number of miles walked, then

donation from the cousin = 5x

Donation from friend = 25 dollars

Hence total donation = donation from friend +donation from cousin

i.e

$y =5x+25$
