To convert dog years to human year, count 21 human years for the first two dog years and then 4 human years per dog year for each dog year thereafter. write an expression that represents the human age of a dog that is y dog years old, where y is greater than 2.

Hello mate!

We know that Y is greater than 2, then we can write Y as X + 2, where X is a number greater than 0.

Then X is the number of years that passed since the second year.

We know that the first two years are equivalent to 21 years, and each year since then is equivalent to 4 human years

Then the equation that represents the dog's age in human years is

A(X) = X*4 + 21

where we used X instead of Y, because we change the first two years of Y for that constant  21.

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
