Jaclyn is training for a long bike ride. Right now, her longest ride is 36 miles. She plans to add 2 miles each week to her longest ride. Use a linear equation to determine the length of Jaclyn's longest ride after 6 weeks. Do not include units in your answer.

48 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Longest ride (initial) = 36 miles

Additional miles per week = 2 miles

y(x) = mx + c

c = initial ride ; m = rate (increase in miles per week) ; x = number of miles per week

Longest ride after 6 weeks will be :

[Longest ride (initial) + additional miles per week * number of weeks]

Longest ride after 6 weeks :

36 miles + (2 * 6)

36 + 12

48 miles after 6 weeks

chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a healing card.
