To find Flash's weight at 8 months old, we can substitute \( a = 8 \) into the given equation \( p = a + 2 \):
\[ p = 8 + 2 \] \[ p = 10 \]
Therefore, Flash's weight at 8 months old was 10 pounds.
This equation shows how Flash the puppy's weight varies with age.
p = a + 2
The variable a represents Flash's age in months, and the variable p represents Flash's weight in pounds. How heavy was Flash at 8 months old?
