Answer provided by our tutors

After m = 1 month the number of comic books is:

c = 15 + 3

After m = 2 months the number of comic books is:

c = 15 + 3 + 3 = 15 + 2*3

After m = 3 months the number of comic books is:

c = 15 + 2*3 + 3 = 15 + 3*3

After m months the number of comic books is:

c = 15 + 3m
