You and your friend are selling magazine subscriptions for a fundraiser. After w weeks, you have sold (3w+4) subscriptions and your friend has sold (5w+1) subscriptions.
5w+1-3w+4 right?
5w-3w=2w
1-4= -3
2w-3
Sorry I was so late.
The final answer is 2w-3!
To find out how many subscriptions you and your friend have sold after w weeks, you need to add the number of subscriptions each of you has sold separately.
You have sold (3w+4) subscriptions, and your friend has sold (5w+1) subscriptions.
So, the total number of subscriptions sold after w weeks is calculated by:
Total subscriptions = Your subscriptions + Friend's subscriptions
Total subscriptions = (3w+4) + (5w+1)
To simplify the expression, you can combine like terms:
Total subscriptions = 3w + 4 + 5w + 1
Total subscriptions = (3w + 5w) + (4 + 1)
Total subscriptions = 8w + 5
Therefore, after w weeks, you and your friend have sold 8w + 5 subscriptions.
To find the total number of magazine subscriptions sold by both you and your friend after w weeks, you need to add the number of subscriptions you sold and the number of subscriptions your friend sold.
The number of subscriptions you sold after w weeks is given by the expression 3w + 4.
The number of subscriptions your friend sold after w weeks is given by the expression 5w + 1.
To find the total number of subscriptions sold after w weeks, you add these two expressions together:
Total subscriptions sold = (3w + 4) + (5w + 1)
To simplify the expression, combine like terms:
Total subscriptions sold = 3w + 4 + 5w + 1
= (3w + 5w) + (4 + 1)
= 8w + 5
Therefore, the total number of magazine subscriptions sold by both you and your friend after w weeks is 8w + 5.
