You can put this solution on YOUR website!
w would be a whole number, or an element of the whole numbers.
w = count of weeks

A week has 5 weekdays and 1 Saturday.
L = how many lawns mowed,
L=%285%2B2%29w, TWO lawns mowed on ONE Saturday;
This is highlight%28L=7w%29 lawns in w weeks.

Five dollars per lawn means
R=5%2A7w
highlight%28R=35w%29, R is for revenue
