Question

Consider the following formula used to estimate height, h, of a seedling after w weeks since planting:

Answer 1

Option B.
`w=5h-8`

Explanation:

we have

`h=((1)/(5))w+((8)/(5))`

Solve for w

That means ----> isolate the variable w

Multiply by 5 both sides to remove the fraction

`5h=w+8`

subtract 8 both sides

`5h-8=w+8-8`

`5h-8=w`

Rewrite

`w=5h-8`
