Question

The weight in pounds of a baby in the first six months of life can be modeled by the

function w = 1.5m +7, where x is the age of the baby in months. According to this model,
what is the weight, in pounds, of a baby at 5 months of age? Numerical answer only.

Answer 1

14.5

Explanation:

You would plug 5 into the equation for m and have w = 1.5 (5) + 7

Then you would multiply 1.5 and 5 and get 7.5 and then add 7 and get 14.5
