HELP!
Ella swims four times a week at her club’s pool. She swims the same number of laps on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and 15 laps on Saturday. She swims a total of 51 laps each week. Write an equation for the problem.

Respuesta :

Answer: 3x + 15 = 51

x is the number of laps that she swims on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Since she swims the same amount, we can multiply x by three. Since Saturday  gives us an explicit answer, we can just add that to the equation.

Hope this helps :)
