Question

Hassan knows how to sing 6 vocal pieces, thanks to his choir class. Now he's about to start private lessons. His teacher says he will learn 2 new pieces each month. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of months Hassan takes voice lessons, x, and the number of pieces he knows, y.

Answer 1

Y = 2x + 6

2 times however many months, plus the 6 he already knows, will equal the total amount of music he knows.
