A construction crew is lengthening a road the road started with a length of 57 miles and the crew is adding to miles to the road each day let l represent the total length of the road in miles and let d represent the number of days the crew has worked write an equation relating let l to d then use this equation to find the total length of the road after the crew has worked 37 days.
Equation:_______
Total length of the road after 37 days ______miles
The equation relating the total length of the road in miles (l) to the number of days the crew has worked (d) can be written as:
l = 57 + 2d
To find the total length of the road after 37 days, we substitute d = 37 into the equation:
l = 57 + 2(37)
l = 57 + 74
l = 131
Therefore, the total length of the road after 37 days is 131 miles.
