Question

This equation shows how the amount of jam Beth has jarred is related to the number of days she has spent making jam.

j = d + 14

The variable d represents the number of days spent making jam, and the variable j represents the amount of jam jarred. How much jam did Beth jar if she spent 7 days making jam?

_ liters

Answer 1

To find out how much jam Beth jarred in liters after spending 7 days making jam, we can substitute \(d = 7\) into the equation \(j = d + 14\).

\[
j = 7 + 14
\]

\[
j = 21
\]

So, if Beth spent 7 days making jam, she jarred **21 liters** of jam.
