What are these letters doing in my equations? Here comes algebra!
Cierra, do you need to graph the equation? The best way to do that is to make a chart:
"x" hours times 7 + 25 = total (your "y" value)
1 7 + 25 = 32
2 14 + 25 = 39
3 21 + 25 = 46
See the pattern? Make your x axis with increments of 1 (1,2,3, etc) and your y axis with increments of, say, 10, so you have enough room. Graph the x,y pairs from the chart, connect them with a line, and you're good. Any point on that line will now satisfy the equation.
I hope this helps.
