A pilot scheduled to depart at 4:00 pm, but due to air traffic, her departure has been delayed by 10 minutes. Air traffic control approved a new flight plan that will allow her to arrive three times faster then she calculated in her original flight plan. Let x represent the time, in minutes, of her original flight. Create an equation that can be used to predict the number of minutes after 4:00 pm she will arrive at her destination.

A. Y = 1/3x + 10
B. Y = 3x + 10
C. Y = 1/3x - 10
D. Y = 3x - 10

Sagot :

Answer: Choice A

y = (1/3)x+10

=============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of minutes of the original flight

Because the pilot travels 3 times faster than before, it means she travels 1/3 of the original time. If she took x minutes on the original flight, then she will take (1/3)x minutes for the new faster flight.

Then add on the 10 minute delay to end up with (1/3)x+10
