Question

y=6+3x

Weeks (x) Weight in oz (y)
2
4
6

Answer 1

To find the weight of the black puppy \( y \) after various weeks \( x \) using the formula \( y = 6 + 3x \), we can substitute different values of \( x \) into the equation.

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

2. For \( x = 4 \): \[ y = 6 + 3(4) = 6 + 12 = 18 \text{ oz} \]

3. For \( x = 6 \): \[ y = 6 + 3(6) = 6 + 18 = 24 \text{ oz} \]

Now, we can fill in the table:

| Weeks (x) | Weight in oz (y) | |-----------|-------------------| | 2 | 12 | | 4 | 18 | | 6 | 24 |

So the completed table is:

• For week 2, the weight is 12 oz.
• For week 4, the weight is 18 oz.
• For week 6, the weight is 24 oz.
