To express the relationship between the number of students photographed (x) and the total number of pictures taken (y), we can account for the 2 initial pictures and the 5 pictures taken for each student.
The total number of pictures taken for each student is 5 times the number of students, plus the 2 pictures taken to check the memory card. Therefore, the equation can be written as:
\[ y = 5x + 2 \]
This equation represents the total number of pictures (y) as a function of the number of students (x).
The total number of pictures taken for each student is 5 times the number of students, plus the 2 pictures taken to check the memory card. Therefore, the equation can be written as:
\[ y = 5x + 2 \]
This equation represents the total number of pictures (y) as a function of the number of students (x).
