Answer 1

4 + 3w

Explanation:

Tara already knew 4 appetizer recipes before starting culinary school, and she will learn 3 new appetizer recipes during each week of school.

Let us represent the number of weeks of the school as w

The equation that shows the relationship between the number of weeks and the number of appetizer recipes is

4 appetizer + 3 new appetizers × w

Number of recipes she knows after w weeks = 4 + 3w
