At the beginning of November, another song by Taylor Swift, Karma, only had 565 million streams but was gaining 1 million streams per day.

Question

Write an equation to show the total number of streams based on the number of days that have passed. Use x as the variable for the days that have passed.

Answer 1

To represent the total number of streams of the song "Karma" based on the number of days that have passed, we can formulate the following equation:

Let \( x \) represent the number of days that have passed since the beginning of November.

The initial number of streams at the beginning of November is 565 million. Since the song is gaining 1 million streams per day, the total number of streams after \( x \) days can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Total streams} = 565 + 1x \]

We can simplify this to:

\[ \text{Total streams} = 565 + x \]

This equation shows the total number of streams in millions, where \( x \) is the number of days that have passed.
