Modeling Situations with Equations
Introduction

Modeling situations with equations allows us to represent real-world relationships using mathematical expressions. By turning everyday scenarios into equations, we c...

Imagine a car wash that charges $6 per car. Instead of calculating the total earnings each time, we can model the situation using an equation.

Each car adds $6 to the total earnings, so the amount increases at a constant rate, and when 0 cars are washed, the total earnings are $0. This makes it a proportional relationship.

A proporti...
