Question

A baker initially makes 10 loaves of bread and sells 2 loaves each day.

What equation models the situation, where x is time in days and y is number of loaves?
Y=2x+10
Y=2x-10
Y=-2x+10
Y=-2x-10

Answer 1

y = 2x + 10

Explanation:

y = 2x + 10

y is the total number of loaves of bread.

x is the number of days.

If the baker baked for ten days, he would have 30 loaves of bread

y = 2x + 10

y = 2(10) + 10

y = 20 + 10

y = 30

If he baked for 50 days, he would have baked 110 loaves

y = 2x + 10

y = 2(50) + 10

y = 100 + 10

y = 110

And so on and so on...
