Question

A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 59 miles, and the crew is adding 2 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 I to
this equation to find the total length of the road after the crew has worked 32 days.

Answer 1

The answer is L = 59 + 2(d). If we plug in our numbers, we will get L = 59 + 2(32). 2*32 is 64, and if you add 59 you get 123 miles.

This isn’t apart of the question, but 59 would be the y-intercept. 2 miles per day (2/1) is the slope.
