The calf gains 2 pounds each day, so the number of days it takes for the calf to gain (224-150) = <<224-150=74>>74 pounds is 74/2 = <<74/2=37>>37 days. Answer: \boxed{37}.
could you simplify that
GPT 3.5
Certainly! The equation you can use is: 150 + 2d = 224.
To solve for d, you can subtract 150 from both sides:
2d = 224 - 150
2d = 74
Then, divide both sides by 2:
d = 74 / 2
d = 37
So, the calf is 37 days old when it weighs 224 pounds.
To solve for d, you can subtract 150 from both sides:
2d = 224 - 150
2d = 74
Then, divide both sides by 2:
d = 74 / 2
d = 37
So, the calf is 37 days old when it weighs 224 pounds.
