This equation shows how the total amount of paper Linda's office has recycled depends on the number of weeks since they started the new recycling plan.
p = w + 49
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 49 weeks, how many kilograms of paper will Linda's office have recycled?
1 answer
To find out how many kilograms of paper Linda's office will have recycled after 49 weeks, we can use the given equation:
\[ p = w + 49 \]
Here, \( w \) represents the number of weeks, and we want to substitute \( w = 49 \) into the equation to find \( p \):
\[ p = 49 + 49 \]
Now, we can calculate:
\[ p = 98 \]
So, after 49 weeks, Linda's office will have recycled 98 kilograms of paper.
