A construction crew is lengthening a road that originally measured 52 miles. The crew is adding one mile to the road each day. Let L be the length (in miles) after D days of construction. Write an equation relating L to D. Then use this equation to find the length of the road after 37 days.

38+105= 143, 39+104=143, and you will find then adding the numbers on opposite sides, moving inwards yields the answer 138 every time. because of this, you’re going to multiply 138 times the number of pairs, which is 34. therefore, 34*138= 4692(i’m sorry if it’s the wrong numbers, but it’s the right concept)
