1 inch steak gets broiled 12 mintues. Each additional inch, add 5 minutes to broil time. How do I get equation is I have 2 inch steak. w = inches; t = time
first inch is 12 minutes and each inch after that is 5 minutes per inch so total time would be T=12+5(W-1)
since your stake is 2 inches you get T=12+5*(2-1)=12+5=17 minutes
