Question

A plant 3 in. tall grows an average of 0.5 in. each month. Which equation models the flower’s height h after x months?

Answer 1

h = 3 + 0.5x 

This would be your equation :)  

Answer 2

Answer:

$h = 3 +0.5x$ equation models the flower’s height h after x months

Step-by-step explanation:

Here x represents the month and

h is the flower's height.

As per the statement:

A plant 3 in. tall grows an average of 0.5 in. each month.

"$\text{0.5 in. each month}$" translated to 0.5x

And

Height of the plant = 3 in. tall

then,

the equation that represents the flower's height h after x months is given by:

$h = 3 +0.5x$
