The equation shows how the total amount of aluminum cans Anya’s office has recycled depended on the number of weeks since they started the new recycling plan, a  = 9w.

The variable, w, represents the number of weeks the office has been on the new recycling plan, and the variable, a, represents the total pounds of recycled aluminum. After 4 weeks, how many pounds of aluminum will Anya’s office have recycled?

So, a=9w, and you wanna know how many pounds of aluminum Anya will recycle after 4 weeks with the plan

 

the 9w would mean 9 pounds of aluminum collected(9) per week(w)

 

and the a is the total amount of pounds

 

its imply to figure this out

 

a=9(4) (multiply 9 pounds times (* or X) 4 weeks, which will equal 36)

 

a=36

 

after 4 weeks, Anya's office would've recycled in all 36 pounds of aluminum

 

see? That wasn't so hard after all! :)
