A construction crew is lengthening a road. The road started with a length of 52 miles, and the crew is adding 2 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 L to D . Then use this equation to find the total length of the road after the crew has worked 31 days.

Question
Answer:
Answer:  Equation : L = 52 + 2D ;  Total Length = 31 Miles

Explanation:

Initial Length = 52 miles.

Additional Length each day = 2 miles

Number of days = D

Total Length = L

L = 52 + 2D

When D = 31, L = 52 + 2(31) = 114 miles
