According to the the Cincinnati zoo, the average weight, in pounds, of the
new baby gorilla in its first month of life can be described by the equation
P= 16 + 4w, where w is the number of weeks since birth. How many
Pounds did the baby gorilla weigh at birth?

The weight of the gorilla at its birth is 16 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

The equation representing the weight of the gorilla in its first month of life is given as  

P= 16 + 4 w

Where P represents the weight in pounds and

w represents the number of weeks since birth

We need to find the weight of the gorilla at birth

Step 2 :

The number of weeks since birth of the gorilla will be zero at its birth. Hence the variable w will be 0 at its birth.

Substituting this in the above equation we have.

P = 16 + 4(0)

=> P = 16

Step 3 :

Answer :

The required weight of the gorilla after its birth is 16 pounds

the answer is b
