Mr. Holloway went to Comic-Con for the new Marvel Legends exhibit. He is trying to figure out how many
booths he traveled to per hour. He LOVED wandering through Spider-Man's web, holding Captain America's
shield, practicing his repulsor beam tech with Iron Man, and observing all of the Infinity Stones! Let's help him
remember! Before he started keeping track he had already visited 5 booths. Because of the lines, he is only
able to make it to 3 booths per hour. If the exhibit was only open for 5 more hours, how many total booths did
he visit?

Answer:

Mr. Holloway visited 20 booths in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Holloway has already visited 5 booths for the new Marvel Legends exhibit.

a.

Due to the lines, he can only make it to 3 booths per hour. Let's call h the number of hours and b the total number of booths he visits.

The model consists of a fixed amount (the booths already visited), and a variable amount (the booths he visits per hour), thus the function is constructed as:

b = 5 + 3h

b.

Now we find the total booths he visited for h=5 hours:

b = 5 + 3*5

b = 5 + 15

b = 20

Mr. Holloway visited 20 booths in total.
