Whitney has already baked 2 cakes, and she can bake 1 cake with each additional stick of butter she buys. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of additional sticks of butter s and the number of cakes c.

• Let c, the number of cakes, be represented by f(s) where s are the number of sticks of butter.
• We already have 2 cakes to start, and each additional stick of butter gets us one more cake.

f(s) = 1s + 2

Simplify, since 1s is just s
f(s) = s + 2
