Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3 weeks: 21.5 inches
w weeks: 20+0.5w inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 20+0.5w.
20 was when it was first planted and 0.5 is the amount it grows per week.
First, set up the equation.
365x + 125 = 250x + 175
Second, combine like terms on the same side by subtracting 250x and 125 from both sides.
365x +125 = 250x + 175
-250x -125 -250x -125
__________________
115x = 50
Third, divide both sides by 115 to solve for x.
115x = 50
---- ----
115 115
Fourth, simplify.
x=50/115=10/23 or 0.435
The answer is 4. You take 2 and divide it by 0.5.
