Question

A small tree was planted at a height of 8 feet. The tree has been planted for 15 months, and is now 50 feet tall. Which equation could be used to find x, the average number of feet the tree grew each month?

Answer 1

x=8+(number of feet/number of months)

Explanation:

Answer 2

y=42/15x+8

Explanation:

We can get the change in height with 50-8, or 42. Now we divide, so 42/15. I'm assuming this is a slope question, so it would be y=42/15x + 8. Let me know if this is the way you want the answer.
