Jade normally leaves work at 5:00 pm, but she is leaving work 10 minutes late today. She decides to make up time by taking the toll road instead of side streets. She can travel two times faster by taking the toll road. Create an equation in terms of x to represent the number of minutes after 5:00 pm she arrives home from work if she leaves late. Let x represent the number of minutes her normal commute takes when she leaves on time.

y equals one half times x minus ten

y = 2x − 10

y = 2x + 10

y equals one half times x plus ten

Respuesta :

Answer:

It will be answer choice D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It'll take the half the usual time because she is taking a road that get's her there 2 times faster, but also add 10 because she was 10 minutes late.

The linear equation in terms of x to represent the number of minutes after 5:00 pm she arrives home from work if she leaves late is (y = 0.5x + 10).

Given :

  • Jade normally leaves work at 5:00 pm, but she is leaving work 10 minutes late today.
  • She decides to make up time by taking the toll road instead of side streets.
  • She can travel two times faster by taking the toll road.
  • Let x represent the number of minutes her normal commute takes when she leaves on time.

According to the given, data x represent the number of minutes her normal commute takes when she leaves on time.

Let y be the total time taken by Jade after 5:00 pm to reach home. So, the linear equation that represents the given situation is:

[tex]\rm y = \dfrac{1}{2}x+10[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is D).
