Members in a club are (M(w)=60+4w). After how many weeks will the members be (100)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(w=10\)
Set the number of members equal to 100: \(60+4w=100\). Thus, \(4w=40\), so \(w=10\). If \(w=9\), the membership would be \(60+4(9)=96\), not 100. Exam tip: In a linear expression, substitute the target value first and then isolate the variable term.
