Answer:
The equation to describe this situation is expressed as
23 = 5 + 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
He has 5 lettuces in the garden .Every week he plants 2 more lettuces. One day Simone counts 23 lettuce in his garden .
let
x = number of weeks
The total lettuces he has in his garden will be represented by y. He already has 5 lettuce in his garden. Therefore,
y = 5 + 2x
Since the total lettuces he has in his garden is 23, the equation can be expressed as follows.
Total lettuce in his garden(y) = 23
23 = 5 + 2x.
we can find x which is the number of weeks he used to plant those lettuce.
23 - 5 = 2x
18 = 2x
x = 18/2
x = 9 weeks.
