Beverly is starting a new diet. her current weight is 160 pounds. she expects to lose 4 pounds per month. if x represents the number of months beverly is on the diet, predict how long it will take her to reach a goal weight of 120 pounds. a) 6.5 months b) 7 months c) 8.75 months d) 10 months

D. 10 months

This is because to find the value of x you subtract the original value (160) by her final volume (120) to get 40. Since she wants to lose 4 pounds a month, you plug 4 in as the coefficient in front of x to get 4x=40. Divide by 4 to get 10!

Hope this helps:)
