Newborn = 18 inches
adult boa = 9 * 18 + 2 = 164 inches

Since all the information is given, then merely put the necessary facts in order.

Had the length of the newborn been unknown, it would have been represented by x.

9x + 2 = 164
9x = 164 - 2
9x = 162
9x/9 = 162/9
x = 18

This can also be looked at another way. The second value in the ratio is 7/2 of the first value in the ratio and the first value is 2/7 of the second value.

Example:

7/2 * 2 = 7

Example:

2/7 * 7 = 2
