Question

Ethan planted a tree that was 1.85 meters tall. several years later the tree is 5.30 meters tall. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of meters the tree has grown?

Answers:
1.85 + 5.30 = x
1.85 + x = 5.30
1.85x = 5.30
1.85 (5.30) = x

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf 1.85 + x = 5.30}`

Explanation:

The number of meters the tree has grown = x

Tree at start = 1.85 m

Tree after several years = 5.30 m

So,

1.85 + x = 5.30

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
