Question

Jordan already knew 2 appetizer recipes before starting culinary school, and he will learn 2 new appetizer recipes during each week of school. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of weeks w and the number of appetizer recipes a. Write your answer as an equation with a first, followed by an equals sign

Answer 1

Answer:

w=2r

r= w/2

r- w/2 = 0

w -2r= 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w be the number of weeks and r be the number of recipes learnt . So he will learn 2 recipes each week .Equating gives

w=2r

when w= 1

w= 2(1) = 2

For 1st week 2 recipes are learned

when w= 2

w= 2( 2) = 4

For 2nd week 4 recipes are learned.

or

when r= 2

r= w/2

r =2/2  = 1  one  recipe is learned in half of the week  

r- w/2 = 0

or

w -2r= 0
