Question 5 • GA-Algebra: Concepts and Connections CR

Harita must memorize 90 measures of music for her cello solo at a concert. She plans on memorizing 18 new measures for every 3 days of practice. Which equation can be used to determine m, the number of measures Harita still needs to memorize, as a function of d, the number of days of practice since she began learning the piece?

Answer
A
m = 72 – 15d
B
m = 90 – 6d
C
m = 101 – 21d
D
m = 108 – 3d

Explanation

Harita memorizes 18 measures every 3 days, so she learns 18 ÷ 3 = 6 measures per day. She starts with 90 measures still to learn, and that number decreases by 6 each day, giving m = 90 − 6d. Choice B, m = 90 − 6d, matches this relationship.
