Asked by Nissan GT-R R35

You are traveling home from work. You are decreasing the distance as you walk home. Your house is 41 blocks away, and you walk 3 blocks per minute. Create a linear equation that represents the situation. How many minutes will it take, to the nearest minute, to get you home?

y = 41 + 3x; 14 minutes
y = 41 - 3x; 14 minutes
y = 41 - 3x; 13 minutes
y = 41 + 3x; 13 minutes

y = 41 − 3x; 14 minutes.

Explanation: y (blocks remaining) = 41 − 3x (blocks per minute × minutes). Set y = 0: 41 − 3x = 0 → x = 41/3 ≈ 13.67 minutes, which rounds to 14 minutes.
