The equation would be y = 3x+2

Here's an explanation:

Let y represent the length of the baby flower in total, and let x represent the number of months that have passed. Since the flower grows at a rate of 3 inches every month, then for x number of months, it would grow 3 times x, which is 3x. The problem also tell us that the flower is already 2 inches tall, which now makes it 3x+2. So the total length is equal to 3x + 2 inches, so the equation would be y=3x+2
