Your class project involves recycling aluminum cans. After x weeks, your class has (13x + 50) aluminum cans. The class goal is to collect (80x + 120) aluminum cans. How many more aluminum can does your class need to collect?

My answer is 67x + 70

I have this question for hw i have no clue XD

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLL

How do we figure it out

idk whats this tho

[.f.d

It’s 67x+70 but I don’t know why LOL

Never mind I do.

80x-13x =67x
And 120-50=70
So it is is 67x+70

To find out how many more aluminum cans your class needs to collect, we can subtract the number of aluminum cans your class already has from the class goal.

Given that after x weeks your class has (13x + 50) aluminum cans, and the class goal is (80x + 120) aluminum cans, we can calculate the difference between them.

Let's set up the equation:

Class goal - Aluminum cans already collected = Aluminum cans still needed

(80x + 120) - (13x + 50) = Aluminum cans still needed

To simplify the equation, we can distribute the negative sign:

80x + 120 - 13x - 50 = Aluminum cans still needed

Combine like terms:

(80x - 13x) + (120 - 50) = Aluminum cans still needed

67x + 70 = Aluminum cans still needed

Now we have the value for the number of aluminum cans still needed, which is 67x + 70.
