Hassan knows how to sing 6 vocal pieces, thanks to his choir class. Now he's about to start private lessons. His teacher says he will learn 2 new pieces each month.

Question

Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of months Hassan takes voice lessons, x, and the number of pieces he knows, y.
y=

Answer 1

To express the relationship between the number of months Hassan takes voice lessons (x) and the number of vocal pieces he knows (y), we can set up the equation based on the information provided.

Initially, Hassan knows 6 vocal pieces. He will learn 2 new pieces each month.

The number of pieces he knows after x months can be expressed as:

\[ y = 6 + 2x \]

So, the equation that shows the relationship between the number of months Hassan takes voice lessons (x) and the number of pieces he knows (y) is:

\[ y = 6 + 2x \]
