Noah and Carter are collecting box tops for their school. They each bring in 1 box per day starting on the first day of school

Answer:

Well since they're bringing 1 each day, just multiply that by the number of days of school, or just use the variable x to replace it.

1x = the number of box tops they each bring to school
