Question

Diane works at a gardening store, and today she is helping assemble gas trimmers to be sold. An employee from an earlier shift already assembled 7 trimmers, and Diane can assemble 4 trimmers per hour.
Write an equation that shows how the total number of trimmers assembled, y, depends on the number of hours Diane spends assembling them, x.

y = _______

Answer 1

Answer:4x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The linear function for the number of trimmers assembled is:

y = 7 + 4x.

--------------------------------

A linear function has the following format:

$y = ax + b$

In which:

• a is the rate of change.
• b is the fixed amount.

--------------------------------

• In an earlier shift, 7 trimmers had already been produced, thus 7 is the fixed amount, that is, $b = 7$.
• Diane assembles 4 trimmers per hour, thus the rate of change is 4, that is, $a = 4$
• The amount of trimmers y produced after x hours is given by:

$y(x) = 4x + 7$
