Question

Andrew is preheating his oven before using it to bake. The initial temperature of the oven is 65° and the temperature will increase at a rate of 10° per minute after being turned on. What is the temperature of the oven 15 minutes after being turned on? What is the temperature of the oven t minutes after being turned on?

Answer 1

Answer: 215°

t = minutes after being turned on

If the oven temperature increases by 10 per minute, and the initial temperature is 65, this can be represented as:

65 + 10t

After 15 minutes:

65 + 10(15)

65 + 150

215°

If x = temperature of the oven, the temperature of the oven t minutes after being turned on is:

65 + 10t = x
