Answer: 2x + y
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
logₐ(3) = x
logₐ(5) = y
logₐ(45) = logₐ(3²· 5)
= logₐ(3)² + logₐ(5)
= 2 logₐ(3) + logₐ(5)
= 2 x + y <em>substituted given values (stated above)</em>

S = 60W + 650 <== ur equation
after 18 weeks...so sub in 18 for W
S = 60(18) + 650
S = 1080 + 650
S = 1730 <==
