Question

Rachel has 37 videos and decides to purchase 2 more each week. Write an equation describing this situation.

Answer 1

18 weeks and 3 1/2 days

Answer 2

`T = 2w + 37`

Explanation:

Let T represent the total amount of videos Rachel has after w weeks.

Rachel already owns 37 videos.

She purchases two more each week.

Therefore, after w weeks, the total amount of videos Rachel has can be represented by the expression:

`2w+37`

Then the total after w weeks can be modeled by the equation:

`T = 2w + 37`
