Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
His distance from the bank can be modeled using an equation in the form y=mx+b. Since he has already ran 3 miles, the "b" is equal to 3, and can be added to how many miles he runs on from now on. If he can run 5 miles per hour, then that means every hour, he will run 5 miles. We can represent how many hours have passed as x. This would make our equation y=5x+3.
After 3 hours he has gone 5(3)+3 miles, or 18 miles
