Question

The number of customers in a store on the first day is represented by (6x - 3). The number of customers on the second day is represented by (x - 1). Write an expression to find to how many more customers visited the store on the first day. Then evaluate the expression if X is equal to 50.

Answer 1

The expression that represents how many more customers visited the store on the first day than the second day = (6x - 3) - (x - 1) = 6x - x - 3 + 1 = 5x - 2

The value of the expression when x = 50 is given by 5(50) - 2 = 250 - 2 = 248.
