Solution

The equation that shows how the number of minutes required to screen-print a batch of shirts, y, depends on the number of shirts in the batch, x, is:

y = 3x + 15

This equation represents the total time Lily needs to print a batch of shirts. The "3x" term represents the time it takes to print each shirt (3 minutes per shirt times the number of shirts, x), and the "+ 15" represents the initial set-up time of 15 minutes.
