Q. This equation shows how the total number of souvenirs Deion buys is related to the number of days he spends on vacation.s=d+1The variable d represents the number of days he spends on vacation, and the variable s represents the total number of souvenirs he buys. After 3 days of vacation, how many total souvenirs will Deion have bought?_____ souvenirs
Identify variable: Identify the variable that 3 days of vacation corresponds to. d represents the number of days Deion spends on vacation. So, 3 days gives the value for d.
Plug in value: We know that d=3. Plug in the value for d in s=d+1. s=d+1. Substitute d with 3. s=3+1
Solve for s:s=3+1. Solve for s. s=d+1. s=3+1=4. Therefore, the total number of souvenirs Deion will have bought after 3 days of vacation is 4.
