Question

Use the formula y=50x-25

Approximately how many minutes will it take a student to type a 2500 word essay if in 8 minutes they can type 375 words and in 15 minutes they can type 725 words

Answer 1

so in your equation, y is the number of words and x is the number of minutes

so set y = 2500
50x - 25 = 2500
50x = 2525
x = 50.5

so it will take 50.5 minutes or 50 minutes and 30 seconds.

Answer 2

y= 50x – 25
