Members in a club are (M(w)=45+3w). After how many weeks will the members be (72)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(w=9\)
Set the number of members equal to 72: \(45+3w=72\). Thus, \(3w=27\), so \(w=9\). If \(w=8\), the number of members would be \(45+24=69\), not 72. Exam tip: equate the function to the target value first, then solve for the variable.
