QuestionFind the equation for the road length $L$ after $D$ days if it starts at 47 miles and grows by 1 mile daily. Calculate $L$ after 12 days.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The original length of the road is47 miles. The construction crew is adding one mile to the road each day3. $represents the length of the road after$ days of construction

STEP 2

We can write an equation relating $to$ by adding the number of days of construction to the original length of the road. This is because each day of construction adds one mile to the road.
$=47 + D$

STEP 3

Now, we can use this equation to find the length of the road after12 days. We do this by substituting $$ with12 in the equation.
$=47 +12$

STEP 4

Calculate the length of the road after12 days.
$=47 +12 =59$ The length of the road after12 days is59 miles.
