Alan keeps sweet by cycle in each night he warms up 5 minutes and then cycle several laps each lap stakes him 2 minutes to complete. If he cycles x laps write down an equation of the total time he needs using the information given.

just add the constant warm-up time to the time for x laps:

t = 5 + 2x

To find the total time Alan needs to cycle x laps, we need to consider the time he spends warming up and the time it takes for him to complete each lap.

According to the given information, Alan warms up for 5 minutes every night. After warming up, each lap takes him 2 minutes to complete.

Let's break down the total time:

1. The time spent warming up is constant and equal to 5 minutes.

2. For each lap Alan completes, he spends an additional 2 minutes.

If Alan cycles x laps, the time spent on the laps can be calculated as 2 * x minutes.

Therefore, the total time Alan needs can be represented by the equation:

Total time = Warming up time + Lap time

Total time = 5 minutes + (2 minutes * x laps)

This equation can be simplified as:

Total time = 5 + 2x minutes

In conclusion, the equation for the total time Alan needs to cycle x laps is Total time = 5 + 2x.

Based on the information given, Alan warms up for 5 minutes and then cycles several laps. We are given that each lap takes him 2 minutes to complete. Let's denote the number of laps he cycles as "x".

The total time Alan needs can be calculated by adding the time he spends warming up with the time it takes for him to complete x laps. Since each lap takes 2 minutes, the time taken by cycling x laps is 2 * x = 2x.

Therefore, the equation for the total time Alan needs can be written as:

Total time = Warm-up time + Cycling time
Total time = 5 + 2x

So, the equation for the total time Alan needs is 5 + 2x.
