Alijah · Answer 1

The equation would be y = x + 5, in which x is the number of weeks and y is the number of books he has.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know this because even at 0 weeks, he still has 5 books. Therefore we put this as the constant at the end. Then we can add the number of weeks since the rate is one book per week.
