Question

There are 2 cats on each house roof, and there are 15 cats on the ground. The table shows how the number of cats, c, depends on the number of houses, h. Choose the equation which represents the rule.
A) c = 2h + 2
B) c = 15 - 2h
C) c = 2h − 15
D) c = 2h + 15

Answer 1

Answer: c = 2h + 15

Step-by-step explanation: Each house (h) adds 2 cats. We represent that with 2h. Then we add the constant 15 on the ground as +15.
