4)) Colton received a large bag of candy for his birthday. He ate 6 pieces on his birthday and ate 2 pieces each day after. Let \( d \) represent the number of days since Colton's birthday and \( p \) represent the number of pieces of candy Colton has eaten. 4)) Use the function \( p=2 d+6 \) to find the value of \( p \) when \( d=2 \). \( p= \)

To find the value of \( p \) when \( d = 2 \), simply substitute 2 for \( d \) in the equation \( p = 2d + 6 \). So, \( p = 2(2) + 6 \) which simplifies to \( p = 4 + 6 \), giving us \( p = 10 \). Colton has eaten 10 pieces of candy after 2 days! Now, imagine Colton counting his candy pieces each day and realizing he can indulge just a little more because he built up his candy count. It's a sweet way to keep track of his treats, mixing math with a bit of candy fun!
