Ann is grouping 38 rocks. she can put them into groups of 10 rocks or as single rocks. what are different ways ann can group the rocks?

4 ways

To answer this question, you need to make a list based on how much "10 group" of rock can be made.
The possible way to group it should be:
0 pcs of 10 group + 38 pcs of 1 group
1 pcs of 10 group + 28 pcs of 1 group
2 pcs of 10 group + 18 pcs of 1 group
3 pcs of 10 group + 8 pcs of 1 group

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
