Given that, the weight is increasing at 6% every week.

Let x be the number of weeks.

Then,m the equation will be,


y=8+0.06x

Put 1 for x to calculate the weight in the next week.


\begin{gathered} y=8+(0.06*1) \\ y=8.06 \end{gathered}

Put 2 for x to calculate the weight in 2 weeks.


\begin{gathered} y=8+(0.06*2) \\ y=8.12 \end{gathered}

Thus, the answer will be 8.12 kilos.
