The equation 
models the relationship between the number of different pieces of music a certain pianist practices, y, during an x-minute practice session. How many pieces did the pianist practice if the session lasted 30 minutes?
ExplanationShow
Choice B is correct. It’s given that the equation 
models the relationship between the number of different pieces of music a certain pianist practices, y, and the number of minutes in a practice session, x. Since it’s given that the session lasted 30 minutes, the number of pieces the pianist practiced can be found by substituting 30 for x in the given equation, which yields 
, or 
.
Choices A and C are incorrect and may result from misinterpreting the values in the equation. Choice D is incorrect. This is the given value of x, not the value of y.
