Question

Salomon tracks the weight of his new puppy every 2 weeks. She weighs 10 lbs the

Answer 1

Equation (B) "y = 3x + 10" represents the growth of the puppy.

What are equations?

• An equation is a mathematical formula where the "equal to" sign appears between two expressions having the same value.
• Like 3x plus 5 equals 15, for example.
• Different types of equations exist, such as linear, quadratic, cubic, and others.
• The three primary forms of linear equations are the slope-intercept form, standard form, and point-slope form.

So, the equation that represents the situation:

• The weight increase is: (10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25)
• We can observe that every time, there is a rise of 3lbs of weight.
• Now, let 10 be a constant as the weight is starting from 10 lbs.
• And 'x' be the number of time Salomon tracks the weight.

Then:

• y = 3x + 10

For example, Salomon checks the weight for the 6th time then:

• y = 3x + 10
• y = 3(5) + 10
• y = 15 + 10
• y = 25

So, the equation is correct.

Therefore, equation (B) "y = 3x + 10" represents the growth of the puppy.

The correct question is given below:
Salomon tracks the weight of his new puppy every 2 weeks. She weighs 10 lbs the day he brings her home. His list for her first 6 "weighs" is as follows: (10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25}

Which equation represents the growth of the puppy? Select one:

A. y = x + 3

B. y = 3x + 10

C. y = 10x + 3

D. y = x + 10
