Question

This equation shows how the total number of quizzes Angie has ever taken in high school depends on the number of weeks she has attended school this quarter.

q = w + 3

The variable w represents the number of weeks she has attended school this quarter, and the variable q represents the total number of quizzes she has ever taken in high school. How many weeks of school will Angie have to attend this quarter before she will have taken a total of 12 quizzes?

Answer 1

9 weeks

Explanation:

Knowing that the "q" is the total number of quizzes, you can set the equation equal to 12, and solve for w.

12 = w + 3 Subtract 3 both sides

9 = w
