Question
Read the following description of a relationship:
An engineer is constructing a Newton's pendulum using a frame that weighs 16 kilograms and steel balls that weigh 5 kilograms each.
Let b represent the number of steel balls used and w represent the total weight of the pendulum.
Use the function w=5b+16 to find the value of w when b=1.
w=
