Question

A newborn boa constrictor measures 18 inches long. An adult boa constrictor measures 9 times the length of a newborn plus 2 inches. how long is the adult?

Answer 1

The adult measures
164 inches because it says that the adult is 9 times bigger than the baby plus 2 inches so you multiply 18 times 9 making it 162 and when you add 2 you get 164

Answer 2

18(9) + 2
=162 + 2
=164
The adult boa constrictor is 164 inches long.

I hope this answer helped you.
Have a great day!!
