The equation would be y = x + 5, in which x is the number of weeks and y is the number of books he has.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know this because even at 0 weeks, he still has 5 books. Therefore we put this as the constant at the end. Then we can add the number of weeks since the rate is one book per week.
Suppose x-6 is listed as a possible answer. That is zero if x = 6. So put x=6 into the original x^2 + 4x - 60 to get 6^2 + 4*6 - 60 = 36 + 24 -60 = 0. hence x-6 is a factor.
Answer (x-6)
on this hand :x-5 is not a factor, because plugging x=5 into does not work.
