PLEASE HELP! Priya is with her mother at the zoo’s gorilla exhibit. Priya is studying the chart displayed beside the gorilla exhibit, which shows the name and weight of each gorilla. Use the information in the chart to answer the questions in this activity.

Gorilla Weight Plugged into True or False?
5a + 8 = 318
(pounds)
Sophia 318
George 417
Nancy 310
Hank 136
Paula 62
Gavin 24

Part A
Priya’s favorite gorillas are a mother named Sophia and her baby. The zoo attendant said that Sophia weighs 8 pounds more than 5 times her baby’s weight. To determine the baby gorilla’s weight, Priya can use the equation 5a + 8 = 318, where a is the weight of the baby gorilla. Plug the weight of each gorilla into the equation to check which value makes the equation true.

Answer :

The value that makes the equation true is Paula 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to plug the weight of each of the Gorilla to determine the weight that makes the equation true

all we have to do here is that in each of the cases, we substitute the value of a for the weight of each of the Gorilla

Sophia

a = 318

5a + 8

= 5(318) + 8

as we can see this is not equal to 318

George

For George, we substitute a for 417

That will be;

5(417) + 8

This is not 318

for Nancy

5(310) + 8

This is not equal to 318

for Hank

we have a as 136

5(136) + 8

This is not equal to 136

for Paula

5(62) + 8

= 310 + 8 = 318

we can see this is correct

for Gavin,

5(24) + 8

= 128 which is not equal to 318

The only equal value is that of Paula which is our answer

never fear papaguy is here
