Answer explanation
Choice B is correct. It's given that in January , there were customers subscribed to a company's newsletter and for the next months after January , the total number of customers subscribed to the newsletter each month was greater than the total number subscribed the previous month. It follows that this situation can be represented by the equation , where is the total number of customers subscribed to the company's newsletter months after January , is the number of customers subscribed to the newsletter in January , and the total number of customers subscribed to the newsletter each month was greater than the total number subscribed the previous month. Substituting for and for in this equation yields , or .
Choice A is incorrect. This equation represents a situation where the total number of customers subscribed each month was less, not greater, than the total number subscribed the previous month.
Choice C is incorrect. This equation represents a situation where the total number of customers subscribed each month was , not , greater than the total number subscribed the previous month.
Choice D is incorrect. This equation represents a situation where the total number of customers subscribed each month was , not , greater than the total number subscribed the previous month.
