Debbie has 12 blooms on her lemon tree on the first day she thinks to check it. Each day after that, she notices 3 additional blooms. How many blooms does she have after one week?

Answer:

33 blooms

Explanation:

This can be set up by an equation. x represents the number of days and y represents the number of corresponding blooms. y = 3x + 12 is the equation, as 3 is the rate of change and 12 is the initial amount. One week is 7 days, so 7 can be plugged in for x. 21 + 12 = 33, so after one week, Debbie has 33 blooms.
