The function 5w+2 is set up like a slope intercept form function (y=mx+b) where the function of w would b the number of pears each week, 5 is the slope, and 2 is the y-intercept. One could assume that the number of pears increases each week by a factor of five and the 2 is the initial 2 pears on the tree from when Carl started watching the tree grow.
Just like the other answer said, it can be assumed that 2 is the initial 2 pears on the tree from when Carl started watching the tree grow. Which means that 2 is the number of pears at the start. Not sure why that answer got such bad ratings as it clearly answered the question.
