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.

  1. Start with Initial Distance: Erica starts with 8km8\,\text{km} and bikes 4km4\,\text{km} each day.\newlineTo find the total distance after xx days, we add the initial distance to the distance biked each day times the number of days.\newlineTotal distance =Initial distance+(Distance per day×Number of days)= \text{Initial distance} + (\text{Distance per day} \times \text{Number of days})
  2. Write Equation with Variables: Write the equation using the variables given.\newlineLet yy be the total distance biked by Erica after xx days.\newlineSo, y=8+4xy = 8 + 4x
