An African elephant weighed 209 lbs when it was born. Baby elephants gain an average of 38 lbs per week.
How many weeks will it take for the baby elephant to weigh 1197lbs?

Respuesta :

Let the number of weeks be x
38x + 209 = 1197
Subtract 209 on both sides
38x = 1197
Divide 38 on both sides
x = 31.5 weeks
