Question

Ty and eligh each decide to collect baseball cards. Ty has 37 cards and eligh has 42 cards to begin with. Ty decides to buy 4 more cards each week and eligh decides to buy 3. write an expression for the number of cards that ty has given the number week (w) that he collects

Answer 1

Ty has 37 cards and buys 4 more each week (w).

Eligh has 42 cards and buys 3 more each week (w).

If they collect cards for w weeks, then

Ty will have collected 4w (in w weeks)

Eligh will have collected 3w (in w weeks)

We add the initial amount in stock that they had, so the expressions would be:

Number of Cards Ty has in w weeks = 37 + 4w

Number of Cards Eligh has in w weeks = 42 + 3w
