Molly has already taken 5 quizzes during past quarters, and she expects to have 4 quizzes during each week of this quarter. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of weeks x and the total number of quizzes y. Write your answer as an equation with y first, followed by an equals sign.

y = 5 + 4(w)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Consider y to be the total number of quizzes and x to be the number of weeks;

The number of quizzes already taken during the past quarters = 5

The number of quizzes to be each week = 4  

Therefore, the total number of quizzes is represented by quiz given during the past quarter and the quiz to be given in the future during every week of the quarter.

i.e

Total number of quiz y = quiz already taken during the past quarter + number of quiz each week(total number of weeks)

y = 5 + 4(w)

This is the required relationship between the number of weeks x and the total number of quizzes y.
