Information: Suppose you are constructing a lego technic land rover defender with a total of 2573 pieces. you have already put together 253 pieces. Every minute you add 5 more pieces. My equation: y=5x+253

Question: Use your equation to determine how many total pieces you will have to put together after 45 more minutes? Show all work

So, your equation you have is y = 5x + 253.

They want to know how many total pieces you will have to put together after 45 more minutes.

So, you'll want to insert 45 in for x in the equation. Like so:

y = 5(45) + 253

Now you solve:

y = 225 + 253

y = 478

So this means you will have 478 pieces put together after another 45 minutes. There are 2573 pieces total, yes?

So, you do 2573-478

This equals = 2,095

So this means you'll still have 2,095 pieces to put together. Whew!
