Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

The units:

10.5 dog/human for years 0-2

4 dog/human for human years 3+

a) x human years * 10.5 dog/human = 10.5x dog years

Or if x>2,

b) 2*10.5 = 21 dog + x-2 human * 4 dog/human where x = human years greater than 2.
