ryan starts 10 miles from his house and then runs further away at 6 miles per hour. Write an equation for the y, the total distance he is from his house, in hours.

x = number of hours
6x = distance traveled if Ryan runs 6 mph
6x+10 = total distance Ryan is from his house, assuming he is runs further away from his house
Answer:
The equation for the y, the total distance he is from his house, in x hours. will be given by :
y = 6x + 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance covered by Ryan by walking = 10 miles
Distance covered by Ryan when he starts running for x hours= d
Speed of the Ryan when running = 6 mile/h
[tex]Speed=\frac{Distance}{time}[/tex]
[tex]6 mile=\frac{d}{x}[/tex]
d = 6x miles
Total distance of Ryan from his house: y
The equation for the y, the total distance he is from his house, in x hours. will be given by :
y = 10 miles + d = 10 miles + 6x miles
y = 10 + 6x
