You have already traveled 25 miles. If you continue driving at the same speed, x miles per hour, for 5 more hours, you will travel y total miles. Which equation shows how x and y are related?
A. 5x + 25 = y B. 25 – y = 5x
C. 25x + 5 = y D. 25 – 5x = y
25 miles is the constant. x is the changing factor. x miles per hour for 5 hours is 5x. y is the total amount. This means that our formula is going to be A) 5x + 25 = y.
