Question 774789
Please help me figure out this equation - I know it is easy - I can get the answer just by logically thinking,  need help to get equation right.
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
