Answer:

40x +18(x -3) = 468

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is collected from each of 40 repeat customers, the amount collected from them is 40x.

If $3 less is collected from each of 18 new subscribers, the amount collected from them is 18(x -3).

The total amount collected is 468, so we have ...

40x +18(x -3) = 468
