Question

Wally must complete 40 hours of community service. He does 3 hours each day. Write a linear equation to represent the hours Wally has left after x days.

Answer 1

Answer: y = 40 - 3x

Explanation:

x = # of days

y= number of hours remaining

40 minus 3 times the number of days Wally volunteers would be the formula to find the number of hours he has remaining after a certain number, x, days.
