Jillian and Dylan read magazines. Jillian has read 2 magazines and reads 4 more each week. Dylan has read 6 magazines and reads 4 more each week. After how many weeks will they have read the same number of magazines?

Question

Write an equation that represents the number of magazines Dylan has read, y, after x weeks.
Excellent!
Complete the table below with the number of magazines, y, that Dylan has read after 3, 6, and 9 weeks. You can solve on paper and then enter your answer on Zearn.
y=6+4x

Weeks (x) Magazines (y)
3
6
9
You got it!
Next, graph the points you just found on the coordinate plane to show the relationship between x, the number of weeks, and y, the number of magazines Dylan has read.
Weeks (x) Magazines (y)
3 18
6 30
9 42
Great job!
Now, consider Jillian. Write an equation that represents the number of comic books Jillian has read, y, after x weeks.
You got it!
Complete the table below with the number of magazines, y, that Jillian has read after various numbers of weeks, x. You can solve on paper and then enter your answer on Zearn.
y=2+4x

Weeks (x) Magazines (y)
1
4
7

Answer 1

To find the number of magazines Jillian has read after a given number of weeks, we can use the equation you have provided:

\[ y = 2 + 4x \]

where \( y \) is the total number of magazines Jillian has read and \( x \) is the number of weeks.

Now, let's complete the table for Jillian after 1, 4, and 7 weeks.

1. For \( x = 1 \): \[ y = 2 + 4(1) = 2 + 4 = 6 \]

2. For \( x = 4 \): \[ y = 2 + 4(4) = 2 + 16 = 18 \]

3. For \( x = 7 \): \[ y = 2 + 4(7) = 2 + 28 = 30 \]

So, the completed table for Jillian would look like:

| Weeks (x) | Magazines (y) | |-----------|----------------| | 1 | 6 | | 4 | 18 | | 7 | 30 |
