    Newborn = 18 inches

    adult boa = 9 * 18 + 2 = 164 inches

    Since all the information is given, then merely put the necessary facts in order.

    Had the length of the newborn been unknown, it would have been represented by x.

    9x + 2 = 164

    9x = 164 - 2

    9x = 162

    9x/9 = 162/9

    x = 18

    Start with 18 * 9 = 162

    Next add 162 + 2 = 164

    Last put 164 on the papper
