A construction crew is lengthening a road that originally measured 45 miles. The crew is adding one mile to the road each day.

Let L be the length (in miles) after D days of construction.

Write an equation relating L to D. Then use this equation to find the length of the road after 14 days.

45 + D = 45 + 14 = L

Solve for L.

Wait, if 45+D is 45, then wouldn't D be 0?

A construction crew is lengthening a road that originally measured 41 kilometers. The crew is adding one kilometer to the road each day. The length, L (in kilometers), after d days of construction is given by the following. =L+41d What is the length of the road after 13 days?

To write an equation relating L to D in this scenario, we can use the equation:

L = 45 + D

This equation states that the length L of the road is equal to the initial length of 45 miles plus the number of days D on which the construction crew added one mile each day.

To find the length of the road after 14 days, we substitute D = 14 into the equation:

L = 45 + 14
L = 59

Therefore, the length of the road after 14 days of construction is 59 miles.
