Question

A rabbit weighed 4 ounces when it was born. The rabbit gained 2 ounces each week for the next 12 weeks. Which equation models the weight of the rabbit, w, x weeks after it was born, where x ≤ 12?

Answer 1

Answer: w = 2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation: The rabbit started at 4 ounces, and gained two each week.

Week 0 = 2(0) + 4 = 4

Week 1 = 2(1) + 4 = 6

Week 2 = 2(2) + 4 = 8

Week 3 = 2(3) + 4 = 10
