Answer:

y=7x+1

Explanation:

Linear modeling

Consists of finding a linear equation that represents a situation in real life.

Jenny starts her stamps collection with only 1 stamp.

Then she collects 7 stamps per day.

Let's call

y=total amount of stamps in Jenny's collection

x=number of days

Knowing Jenny collects 7 stamps per day, then in x days, she collects 7x stamps. The total amount can be obtained by adding the first stamp she had. Thus, the model is:

y=7x+1
