Answer 1

The sunflower be 40 inches tall after 4 weeks.

Total height of sunflower in w weeks = 20+1.5 w,

Explanation:

Given: In the beginning, the sunflower was 20 inches tall.

The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 1.5 inches per week.

Then, total height of sunflower in 4 weeks = 10+1.5 ×10, where 1.5 ×10= growth in 4 weeks

= 20+20 = 40 inches

So, the sunflower be 40 inches tall after 4 weeks.
