Question

Complete the table below with the weight of the white puppy, y, after 2, 6, and 8 weeks. You can solve on paper and then enter your answer on Zearn.
y=12+3x

Weeks (x) Weight in oz (y)
2
6
8

Answer 1

To find the weight of the white puppy \( y \) after 2, 6, and 8 weeks using the equation \( y = 12 + 3x \), you can substitute the values of \( x \) (the number of weeks) into the equation.

1. For \( x = 2 \):
\[
y = 12 + 3(2) = 12 + 6 = 18 \text{ oz}
\]

2. For \( x = 6 \):
\[
y = 12 + 3(6) = 12 + 18 = 30 \text{ oz}
\]

3. For \( x = 8 \):
\[
y = 12 + 3(8) = 12 + 24 = 36 \text{ oz}
\]

Now, filling in the table:

| Weeks (x) | Weight in oz (y) |
|-----------|-------------------|
| 2 | 18 |
| 6 | 30 |
| 8 | 36 |
