Lost at loot lake!

It's the start of the new trimester at Origins High School and Xavier is trying to set a SMART
goal to reduce the amount of time he's spending playing video games. On average, ​he is
spehalf A DAY​ ​nding four and a ​lost in ghost towns of "Loot Lake", "Tilted Towers", and "Retail
Row," and he knows he has a problem playing too much! His SMART ​goal is to reduce the
amount of time he’s playing each day by five minutes​ so that can get his habit under control
gradually to the​ point where he is playing for no more one hour per day​.

The main idea in this story it’s is how many days until his time arrangement?

​ tep 1​:I highlights the Important giving information because I chose the research from KCA.
S
Step 2: ​I will use equations because the problems of questions # 4 form LINEAR WORD
PROBLEMS paper ( ​4. The temperature is falling outside at a steady rate of 4 degrees Fahrenheit every hour. If the
temperature starts at 68 Fahrenheit do the following. (d) If this cooling continues at this constant rate, how many hours will it take for
the temperature to reach the freezing point of water/ 32? Show your work​)
I used table to Solve the problem, then I
got it correct . so now I want to use another way to see if it will work too.
Step 3:​ I took the first giving information/ highlight words to know from where to start?
So “​he is spending four and a half A DAY​ ”so four and half hours is Y intercept / b because four
and half is the beginning and Y intercept /b too, A DAY mean every day.
Step 4: ​I took the second giving information / highlight world to know what’s his goal?
So “ ​goal is to reduce the amount of time he’s playing each day by five minutes​ ” so the Chang
is -5x is the slope / mx because -5x is the change and slope / mx is the Chang too .
Step 5: ​ I took the the last giving information / highlight world To know where to stop? Because
there is no more Information. So “​ one hour per day​. ​point where he is playing for no more​”one
hour is the f and per day is the (x) because one hour is the is reach to his goal and f(x) is the
resulting of equation.
Step 4: ​Collect information in one equation
f(x) = 5(x)-270 I wrote 270 instead 4 hour and half because it’s hard to me to minus 4 hour and
half by 5 minuet for example -5= 5(1)-4.5 that wrong because it should be more. To know how
many days until his time arrangement? I used guess and check then I find 42 Match with 60,
60=5(42)-270 .

It worked :)
Xavier after 42 days he will meet his goal.
I learned If I understand the giving information I can answer the problem with many strategy
(graph , table, equation, etc) I want .
