Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Joylin was given a box of comic books before hand, though the amount is never explicitly told to us. However, we know x is the amount of months the subscriptions have been going. 6 is what I presume to be the amount of comic books from the subscriptions.

40 represents the amount of comic books given in the box.
