Izabella Oconnell · Answer 1

y=3x

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is the total distance from the shore and it increases by 3 miles every hour, then by plugging in the amount of hours that have passed into x we will find the distance they have traveled. For example, if they have been out for 5 hours then you would do y=3 (5) which would be 15 miles from the shore.
