Problema Solution
phil can build 3 birdhouses in 5 days. assuming he builds at a constant rate, write the linear equation that represents the situation
Answer provided by our tutors
Phil's building rate is 3 birdhouses in 5 days or we can write
v = 3/5 birdhouses/day
after x days Phill will build y = v*x = (3/5)x houses thus
the linear equation that represents the situation is
y = (3/5)x, where x is the number of days and y is the number of houses built.
