Answer:

Suppose a crew at an unloading dock can unload 3 trucks per hour and have already unloaded 17 trucks. Which equation can be used to model the number of trucks the crew unloads after h hours?  

A. y = 3h = 17

B. y = 3h + 17

C. y = 17h – 3

D. y = 17h + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that can be used to model the number of trucks the crew unloads after h hours is y = 3h + 17.

What is Equivalent Expressions?

  • Two expressions or equations giving the same output are the equivalent expressions.
  • These expressions can interchange into each other.

Given:

A crew can unload 3 trucks per hour.

A crew unloaded 17 trucks.

Let the total number of trucks unloaded by the crew after h hours be y.

Trucks unloaded after h hours = 3h

Already 17 trucks has been unloaded.

The total trucks unloaded after h hours is:

⇒ y = Trucks unloaded after h hours + 17

y = 3h + 17

Therefore, the equation that can be used to model the number of trucks the crew unloads after h hours is y = 3h + 17.

Hence, option (D) is correct.
