Jaclyn is training for a long bike ride. Right now, her longest ride is 36 miles. She plans to add 2 miles each week to her longest ride. Use a linear equation to determine the length of Jaclyn's longest ride after 6 weeks. Do not include units in your answer.
Answer:
48 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Longest ride (initial) = 36 miles
Additional miles per week = 2 miles
y(x) = mx + c
c = initial ride ; m = rate (increase in miles per week) ; x = number of miles per week
Longest ride after 6 weeks will be :
[Longest ride (initial) + additional miles per week * number of weeks]
Longest ride after 6 weeks :
36 miles + (2 * 6)
36 + 12
48 miles after 6 weeks
