DRAGONS The Luck Dragons that live in the Enchanted Forest weigh 4x pounds when they are x years old. Make a table of values to show the weights of 6-year-old, 8-year-old, and 10-year-old Luck Dragons.
To create a table of values to find the weights of Luke dragons at different ages, we need to use the given information that dragons weigh 4 times their age in pounds.
Let's create a table with the ages (x) of the dragons and their corresponding weights (4x):
Age (x) | Weight (4x)
----------------------
6 | 24
8 | 32
10 | 40
So, according to the given information, 6-year-old Luke dragons weigh 24 pounds, 8-year-old Luke dragons weigh 32 pounds, and 10-year-old Luke dragons weigh 40 pounds.
To create a table of values to find the weights of 6-year-old, 8-year-old, and 10-year-old Luke dragons, we need to consider the information provided in the problem statement: Dragons in the enchanted forest weigh 4x pounds when they are x years old.
Let's substitute the given age values into the expression and calculate the weights:
1. For 6-year-old dragons:
Weight = 4x
Weight = 4 * 6 (substituting x = 6)
Weight = 24 pounds
2. For 8-year-old dragons:
Weight = 4x
Weight = 4 * 8 (substituting x = 8)
Weight = 32 pounds
3. For 10-year-old dragons:
Weight = 4x
Weight = 4 * 10 (substituting x = 10)
Weight = 40 pounds
Now, we can create a table with the age in years and the corresponding weight in pounds:
| Age (x) | Weight (4x) |
|---------|-------------|
| 6 | 24 |
| 8 | 32 |
| 10 | 40 |
These values can be used to find the weights of 6-year-old, 8-year-old, and 10-year-old Luke dragons.
