Question

A puppy named Cocoa started out at 1 pound and gained 2 pounds every month. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the age a and the weight p. Write your answer as an equation with p first, followed by an equals sign.

Answer 1

p = 1a+2 is the equation for which it shows the relationship between the age a and the weight p.

Explanation:

To write an equation that shows relationship between age and weight of the Cocoa.

We know the equation that shows the relationship between the age a and the weight p as a linear equation of the form Y=mx+b

Y = the cocoa weight of p pound

m = the cocoa gained in pound

b = the cocoa starting weight per month

We can the write the equation as p = 1a+2.
