1) For a walkathon a sponsor commmited to give you a flat ffe of $5 plus $2 for every mile you walk. Write an expression for the total amount you will collect from your sponsor at the enf of the walkathon. Then evaluate your =expression for 20 miles walked.

I goet ; $2m + $5 = total amt collected.
$2 (20) + $5 = $45.00

2) to win the neighborhood tomatogrowing contest john needs for his tomator plants to produce 8 tomatoes per wwk. he needs 30 tomatoes to win the contest. He already has 6 tomatoes. Write and solve an equation to find the number of weeks he needs to produce 30 tomatoes.
im not sure on this.
I wrote:
8(p) - 6 = weeks
8 (5) -6 = 34
5 weeks is answer?

1 answer

#1, correct
#2, I think 3 weeks will do it.
What is 3x8 + the 6 he alsready has = 24+6 = 30

5 weeks would give him 46 tomatoes, way more than he needs
