Luiza starts collecting rare coins. In the first month of her collection, she has 25 coins. Each month since then, she has added 2 coins to her collection. How many coins will she have after 2 years?

71 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that:

12 months = 1 year

2 years = 12 × 2 = 24 months

Since she has 25 coins in her first month and adds 2 coins to her monthly collections, this means that she has 23 more months. This can be expressed as:

= 25 + 2x

where, x = number of months

= 25 + 2(23)

= 25 + 46

= 71 coins

She will have 71 coins after 2 years.
