Chase watched a movie about aliens who never stop growing. Every alien is 10 centimeters tall at birth and grows exactly 8 centimeters each year. Let y represent the number of years since birth and h represent the alien's height in centimeters.
Complete the equation that represents the relationship between y and h.
yh
550
658
766
874
h=y+

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height (the dependent variable) be h.

Let the independent variable (x) be y

h = 8y + 10

So at birth, these creatures are 10 cm long. At each birthday, they are another 8 cm.

Take the fifth year which is where the table begins.

y= 8*5 + 10

y = 40 + 10

y = 50 cm which is exactly what you got.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
