Question

I need some help (attached below)

Answer 1

according to the table, can you tell me the number of miles being ran every hour?
(divide number of miles, by number of hours --- (and for this you can choose any point))

Answer 2

45 @SolomonZelman right?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

so you so far have (can phrase it the following way)

\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm number~of~miles} ={\rm number~of~hours}\times45 }\)

Answer 5

saying, that when you multiply the number of hours times any number (say 2, 3 or say x)
you get 45*2 or 45*3 or 45*4 number of miles.

(using * as multiplication sign)

Answer 6

so, what you can do is make


the number of hours - x
and
the number of miles - y

Answer 7

then write it as an equation (with number of hours x and number of miles y)

Answer 8

Oh okay.

Answer 9

This kind of stuff is just usually hard for me.

Answer 10

did you get the equation?

Answer 11

So Y = 45 * X or Y = 45x

Answer 12

yes, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle y=45x }\) is right.

Answer 13

any questions ?

Answer 14

No I think thats about it. Thank you.

Answer 15
