Every day when commuting to and from work, Stefanie drives her car a total of 143 miles for 2.5 hours. Her car
already has 45,300 miles on it.
a. Write a function that shows the total number of
miles, f(x), Stefanie's car will have been driven
after x more days. Explain how you know where
each number goes in the equation.
b. If Stefanie works 4 days a week, how many miles
will her car have been driven after 3 weeks? Show
and explain all your work.

a)

In which 45300 is the current number of miles driven and 143 is the amount of miles she drives each day.

b) 47,016 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Every day when commuting to and from work, Stefanie drives her car a total of 143 miles for 2.5 hours. Her car already has 45,300 miles on it.

So, after x days of work, the amount of miles driven will be given by

In which 45300 is the current number of miles driven and 143 is the amount of miles she drives each day.

Question b:

After 4*3 = 12 days of work. So

47,016 miles.
