A3.1 Making Connections: Real World Situations, Formulas, Graphs, and Equations.
Situation: A local farmer has a small chicken coop that produces 15 eggs per 5 days over
a 30 day period of time. Neatly create a scatter plot XY graph showing Eggs Produced
versus Time (days). Label both the dependent axis and independent axis. Title the
graph appropriately.

Write the algebraic relationship between Eggs Produced, E, and Time, t (days).

To SOLVE an equation means to find the unknown value(s) that make the statement
true.
Solve. 63 = 3t
