Answer:


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

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
