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

`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`
