Q. Wed Apr 17AAzearn.orgCLog in toSSO Launch...Math | Top-r...Math | Top-r... Z ZearnZearnLog in to i-R...M4|L11On Both of the LinesSignErica and Jared are tracking the number of kilometers they bike. Erica had already biked 8km, anc continued biking 4km per day. Jared had already biked 2km, and continued biking 6km per day. (4)Write an equation that represents y, the total number of kilometers Erica has biked after x days.123
Start with Initial Distance: Erica starts with 8km and bikes 4km each day.To find the total distance after x days, we add the initial distance to the distance biked each day times the number of days.Total distance =Initial distance+(Distance per day×Number of days)
Write Equation with Variables: Write the equation using the variables given.Let y be the total distance biked by Erica after x days.So, y=8+4x
