Jacob is training for a marathon. His plan is to run the same distance for 3 days a week, then increase that distance

by the same amount each week of training. During week 6, Jacob runs 14 miles per day, which is 1.5 miles more per
day than he ran during week 5. Which equation represents the daily running distance, in miles, as a function of time,
t, in weeks?
f(t) = 0.5t + 7
f(t) = 0.5t + 11
f(t) = 1.5t + 5
f(t) = 1.5t + 12.5
