Members of the math club are taking part in a competition where they earn the same number of points for each problem they solve. Dario’s team solved 6 problems and earned 30 points.
Complete the equation to show the relationship between the number of problems solved (x) and the number of points earned (y)
(X or y)=(5, 6 or 30)(y or x)
The equation that represents the relationship between the number of problems solved (x) and the number of points earned (y) is:
y = 5x
At this rate, how many points will Dario’s team earn if they solve 9 problems?
To find out how many points Dario's team will earn if they solve 9 problems, we can substitute x = 9 into the equation y = 5x:
y = 5(9)
y = 45
Therefore, Dario's team will earn 45 points if they solve 9 problems.
