Yes, you're right. :-)
5 + w
The two days have nothing to do with the algebraic expression.
Personally, I think this is a poor question. Have I missed something?
The day before yesterday, the team scored w runs. Yesterday makes the second day. Today is the third day and the team scores 5 runs. However, the problem says "THESE two" days which makes one think they want the sum which, as you have it, is 5 + w. However, I think the correct answer is 5 runs because the day before yesterday (day 1) was w runs, yesterday (the second day) was no game, I assume, and today (the third day) gives 5 runs. The way I see it w+5 runs were scored in the three days while 5 runs were scored in the last two days. Check my thinking. Again, let me ask if I've missed something?
@ Ms. Sue, Thank you for your answer. @ Drbob22, Thank you for your thoughts. The question was produced by my instructor and I'm sure your right, it probably isn't the best question. I have typed it as it was written.
