This equation shows how the total amount of paper Edwin's office has recycled depends on the number of weeks since they started the new recycling plan.
p = w + 9
The variable w represents the number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan, and the variable p represents the total kilograms of paper recycled. After 5 weeks, how many kilograms of paper will Edwin's office have recycled?
kilograms
1 answer
To determine the total kilograms of paper recycled after 5 weeks, you can substitute the value of \( w \) (the number of weeks) into the equation \( p = w + 9 \).
Given:
Substituting into the equation:
\[ p = 5 + 9 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ p = 14 \]
Therefore, after 5 weeks, Edwin's office will have recycled 14 kilograms of paper.
