A flower 3 in. tall grows an average of 1.5 in. each month. Which equation models the flower's height h after x months?

3 = x + 1.5

h = 3x + 1.5

h = 1.5x + 3

1.5 = x + 3

I think it would by h = 1.5x + 3

Keshawn Rowe · Answer 2

h = 3+1.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

We start at a height of 3 inches

Then we growth at a rate if 1.5 inches per month, where x is the number of months

1.5x

Add them together

3+1.5x

The height is

h = 3+1.5x

A flower 3 in. tall grows an average of 1.5 in. each month. Which equation models the flower's height h after x months?3 = x + 1.5h = 3x + 1.5h = 1.5x + 31.5 = x + 3
