Jessica takes 4 business trips a month for x months in a row. Write an expression to show how many business trips Jessica has taken.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex] t = 4x [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in 1 month, Jessica takes 4 business trips. Take 4 as our coefficient or constant.

Let t be the total number of business trips Jessica has taken.

For 1 month, 4 trips are taken.

For x months, total business trips taken will be expressed as,

[tex] t = 4x [/tex]

Let's say for example, we have 5 months in a row, i.e. x = 5. Total business trips taken by Jessica can be gotten by simply plugging in the value of x.

[tex] t = 4(5) = 20 trips [/tex]

In 5 months in a row, Jessica takes 20 business trips.
