Answer 1

To find the amount of time Alicia spent writing (t) after the given number of days (d), we can use the equation \( t = 15 + 3d \).

Let's calculate \( t \) for the values of \( d \):

1. When \( d = 1 \):
\[
t = 15 + 3(1) = 15 + 3 = 18
\]

2. When \( d = 3 \):
\[
t = 15 + 3(3) = 15 + 9 = 24
\]

3. When \( d = 5 \):
\[
t = 15 + 3(5) = 15 + 15 = 30
\]

Now we can fill in the table:

| d (number of days) | t (time spent writing) |
|-------------------|-----------------------|
| 1 | 18 |
| 3 | 24 |
| 5 | 30 |

So the completed table is as follows:

| d (number of days) | t (time spent writing) |
|-------------------|-----------------------|
| 1 | 18 |
| 3 | 24 |
| 5 | 30 |
