Question

A plant is already 11.00 meters tall, and it will grow 25 centimeters every month. The plant's helght, H (in meters), after x months is given by the following.

H= 11.00 +0.25x
What is the plant's height after 15 months?

Answer 1

14.75

Explanation:

Since x represents the months and we're solving for 15 months, you substitute x for 15. Then you solve it like any other equation.

H=11.00 + 0.25(15)

H= 11.00 + 3.75

H= 14.75
