A typist can type 76 words per minute. They started an essay and already have 100 words on the page. Create a linear equation, and use it to determine how many minutes would be needed to type a 2,000-word essay from where the typist is currently starting.(1 point)
It will take minutes to finish the 2,000-word essay.

Let t = minutes. Linear equation: W = 76t + 100.

Set W = 2000:
2000 = 76t + 100
1900 = 76t
t = 1900 / 76 = 25.

It will take 25 minutes to finish the 2,000-word essay.
