Question

You and your friend are selling magazine subscriptions for a fundraiser. After w weeks, you have sold (3w+8) subscriptions and your friend has sold (6w+6) subscriptions.

Answer 1

3w-2

Explanation:

Given that, after w weeks you sold (3w+8) subscriptions and your friend sold (6w+6) subscriptions.

So, the difference between the number of subscriptions your friend has sold and you have sold after w weeks = (6w+6)-(3w+8)

=6w+6-3w-8

=3w-2

Hence, the required expression is 3w-2.
