An alligator is 6 inches long at birth and grows 8 inches per year. Write an equation that represents the length y (in feet) of an alligator that is x years old.

Respuesta :

Answer:[tex]y=6+x\times 8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Alligator is 6 inches long at the time of birth

It grows 8 inches per year

If y is the length of alligator at any year

so at time of birth [tex]y=6\ in[/tex]

after an year

[tex]y=6+8[/tex]

after 2 years

[tex]y=6+2\times 8[/tex]

so we can write

[tex]y=6+x\times 8[/tex]

where x=no of years passed
