X represents the number of weeks, so $3 per week and $2 per week. Hope this helps!

Answer:

(x) represents number of weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the birds feed is given for x weeks.

Then (cost of bird feeder + cost of bird feeder to be filled ) are same in each case, either bird feeder is cylindrical or rectangular.

So (cost of rectangular bird feeder + bird feed for x weeks)

= cost of cylindrical bird feeder + bird feed for x weeks)

Equation will be

18 + 3x = 24 + 2x

Therefore,(x) represents number of weeks.
