Question

You and your friend are selling magazine subscriptions for a fundraiser. After w weeks, you have sold (2w+9) subscriptions and your friend has sold (6w+3) subscriptions.

Answer 1

3/2 weeks

Explanation:

The question: find the number of weeks you and your friend sells equal number of magazine

You = 2w + 9

Your friend = 6w + 3

Equate both equations

2w + 9 = 6w + 3

Collect like terms

2w - 6w = 3 - 9

- 4w = - 6

w = -6/-4

w = 3/2 weeks
