Aboa constrictor is 18 inches long at birth and grows 8 inches per year. write an equation that represents the length y (in feet) of a boa constrictor that is x years old.
this is writing equations in slope intercept form and i tried y=8x+18 but it didn't work.

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.

step-by-step explanation:

yes. we do proportions in probabilities.
